3-D printing News
Lasers for Lithography
Jun 26, 2015 — The interaction between light source and process places demands on laser performance and parameters in applications such as semiconductor photolithography, maskless lithography and 3-D printing. Thanks to a light – and the right – touch, a technology with its roots in printing books is today churning out chips with features too small to see, fabricating electronic devices and 3-D structures on demand. The key in every case is to have the right light source at the right price.
