Joining Technologies offers laser-additive R&D day

JTRC (Joining Technologies' Research Center) is now offering AppLab (application-laboratory) Day for engineers interested in investigating projects that might benefit from laser-additive manufacturing. AppLab Day sessions will be held at JTRC's laser-additive manufacturing R&D facility in East Granby, CT. Guided by JTRC's laser additive experts, design engineers are able to conduct their own research, using JTRC equipment to create and analyze samples. Together with Joining Technologies' skilled researchers, engineers participating in the AppLab Day will learn first-hand how the laser-additive process works and see how laser cladding of metal powder alloys can help enhance, repair, or free form material in aerospace, power generation, valve, and OEM-supplied components.  "JTRC's new AppLab Day helps bridge the gap between university-level research and shop-floor production laser cladding," said Tim Biermann, director of R&D for JTRC. "Working with our research experts, design engineers can learn how laser cladding can help improve existing processes, or even create new products and processes." After conducting research in the applications laboratory, Joining Technologies can continue to help customers through in-depth research, process evaluation, qualification, and finally into full scale production.
