The electric vehicle (EV) industry is witnessing unprecedented growth, driven by the global shift towards sustainable transportation. Laser welding has emerged as an important technology in this sector, offering a welcome way of reducing production costs and expanding the options in manufacturing new batteries and e-drive technology. While laser sources have rapidly evolved, introducing power levels of 24 kW and beyond, the efficient application of such high laser power in welding processes remains a challenge.

Medical implants have benefited in the last years from established photonics manufacturing processes such as laser cutting and marking, but also from emerging ones such as additive manufacturing and surface structuring. The orthopedic sector has been using them for many years to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing processes and as a way to provide traceability and quality control for each part. Their use has been extended to a large number of new implants. We will review in this article some novel photonics technologies applied to the manufacturing and post-processing of medical implants.

Additive manufacturing (AM), a term synonymous with the future of fabrication, has revolutionized industries by offering unparalleled flexibility in design and production. At the heart of this transformative technology is laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M), the process with the highest geometrical resolution having the largest market share (86 %, Wohlers) amongst all AM processes. By selectively melting and fusing powder material layer by layer with a laser, PBF-LB/M enables the creation of complex and high-strength components, previously unthinkable with traditional subtractive manufacturing methods.
