Role of Virtual Application Design, LLC in Laser Material Application Progress
Simultaneous requirements of size of the heat affected zone, size and shape of the kerf, amount of splatter, microsturcture reproducibility, thermal stress, ect. are critical. These requirements make process development based on application experience, engineering cleverness, and "back of the envelope calculations" just impossible. We are the leaders in using first principals physical models in the form of numerical codes that predict the results of laser material interaction with very high accuracy.
