A specialised set of devices and systems used in the field of laser-based material deposition or transfer is referred to as laser mass transfer equipment.
It enables numerous applications, including additive manufacturing, surface modification, and microfabrication, by precisely transferring or depositing materials onto a target surface.
Using a laser beam to heat and melt a source material—typically in the form of a thin film or powder—is the fundamental idea behind laser mass transfer.
After being placed to a substrate or workpiece, the liquid material solidifies and takes on the shape or pattern that is intended. The energy required to selectively melt the source material and regulate the deposition process is provided by the laser beam.
These methods enable accurate and adaptable patterning by directly writing or depositing materials onto a substrate using laser beams. They are frequently employed in processes like custom surface patterning, microelectronics, and circuit board prototyping.
To transfer material from a donor substrate to a receiving substrate, LIFT systems use a laser pulse. High-resolution patterns can be made using this method, and delicate or sensitive items, such biological molecules or electronic components, can be transferred.
With laser cladding, a coating of material is applied to a substrate to improve its characteristics or fix broken surfaces. In laser cladding systems, a powdered or wire-form material is melted by a laser beam and bonded to the substrate to create a wear- or corrosion-resistant layer.
A laser is used to selectively heat and fuse successive layers of powdered material, usually polymers or metals, in the laser sintering additive manufacturing process. Many products, including finished goods, specialised parts, and functioning prototypes, are produced using this technology.
These are only a few examples of the various types and specialised systems that are available for various uses of laser mass transfer equipment. The type of materials being used, the level of precision sought, the size of the workpiece, and the intended application all play a role in the equipment selection.
The global laser mass transfer equipment market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A novel micro CETI, or micro LED mass transfer tool, was introduced by 3D-Micromac. The business claims that more than 130 million micro LEDs can be transferred per hour using their innovative technique.
Small amounts of materials, such biological samples or inks, can be transferred using LIFT systems by using lasers to move the materials from a donor substrate to the target surface. This method is used in industries like printing, biotechnology, and microelectronics.
