Webinar: Beam shaping combined with a laser scanner

Together with the company Cailabs, the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) has combined a Bessel beam with a laser scanner. Those who are interested can learn more about this from the LZH and Cailabs experts in the English-language webinar "Large area high quality glass cutting with femtosecond Bessel beams" on April 07th, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. Read more...
Heavy-duty gear parts from the 3D printer

In the future, parts for marine gear housings could come from the 3D printer instead of a casting house. Lower Saxony research institutes, including the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH), and companies are jointly developing a 3D printer in the XXL3D printing project, which can produce steel components weighing several tons. Read more ...

Drilling rivet holes in CFRP with the laser - efficient process for series components

In the LaBoKomp project, the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) and four partners have developed a laser-based system for drilling rivet holes in composite materials. The LZH was significantly involved in the development of the underlying process and the required system technology. They were able to drastically reduce the drilling time per hole for laser-based processes.

Clean ship hulls: Development of a gentle laser cleaning process for underwater use

Marine fouling on ship hulls is a major problem for the industry. This so-called biofouling increases the flow resistance and thereby the fuel consumption and the emissions. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) therefore wants to develop a laser-based cleaning process together with Laserline GmbH and the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Applied Materials Research IFAM to gently and efficiently remove the vegetation without damaging the underlying coating.

LZH’s MOMA laser ready for the flight to Mars

One last time on Earth it has been turned on in France in December 2019. The next time the MOMA laser developed by the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is going into operation will be on Mars. The ExoMars rover into which the laser is integrated has now successfully passed the thermal vacuum tests at Airbus in Toulouse, France.
