Laser-based processes require an extraordinarily high level of precision. A key issue with high-power lasers in welding applications is the focal shift. Cailabs has developed innovative beam shaping modules that minimize focal shift and maximize the quality of the weld seam. To analyze the laser beam and demonstrate the technology's superior results, the team relies on renowned institutions and MKS measurement technology.

Our world is constantly facing a wide variety of social challenges – currently, issues such as climate change, security, demographic change, and resource conservation are of significant importance and show an acute need for action. Disruptive technologies, among other things, are needed to tackle such problems. Additive manufacturing (AM) is regarded as the ‘game changer / paradigm shift’ technology for the digital, automated production of the future – as the key enabler of ‘Production 2.0’.
