Experimental Study on Closed Loop Laser Power Control in Selective Laser Melting of Ceramics ETH Zurich Institute of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Instability during laser processing is one of the main issues for SLM of ceramics. The project will start with an analysis of the influence of the laser power and scan speed on laser melting of ceramics. The final aim is to build a setup, which adapt the power in order to keep a stable melt-pool siz Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Control Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics, Welding Technology Master Thesis, Semester Project

Ultra short-pulsed laser ablation modelling ETH Zurich Institute of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Use and programming of software for execution virtual parameter studies in laser ablation. The goal is to make use of modeling techniques in order to reduce the number of experiments. This should lead to a faster and better results in laser ablation process development.
