Identification of new kinematic systems for laser materials processing¶
Features¶
Project is based on the method of the technology intelligence process by Hicking et al. 2022
Additionally, the technology assessment methodology by Hicking and Heimes 2022 is used
The special advantages of laser material processing are taken into account in the search and evaluation of kinematic systems
