Laser Hybrid Manufacturing

Recently, laser hybrid manufacturing (LHM) has emerged to unleash the power of laser manufacturing based on single lasers. This special topic focuses on new LHM technologies including electric-magnetic-field-assisted laser manufacturing, vibration-assisted laser manufacturing, chemical-laser hybrid manufacturing, laser texturing-joining, and laser-metal inert gas (MIG) hybrid welding.
