Laser Cleaning and Welding Workshop

 

Laser Welding Workshop

Join One Eighty Materials Engineering Solutions for an informative Laser Welding Workshop on Tuesday, 11 March 2025, at The Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town. This workshop will cover the latest advancements in laser welding technology and techniques, providing hands-on experience with equipment and processes. Attendees will learn about the precision and control laser welding offers, leading to improved weld quality, reduced defects, and compatibility with various materials. The workshop will also highlight how laser welding enhances productivity and efficiency by increasing processing speed, reducing cycle times, and integrating automation.

Laser Cleaning Workshop

Laser cleaning, a non-contact process, uses laser irradiation to remove contaminants, coatings, or residues from material surfaces. This workshop will explain how laser cleaning works and its key features, such as precision, non-abrasiveness, and environmental friendliness. Attendees will explore applications in industrial cleaning, cultural heritage conservation, and surface preparation. The benefits of laser cleaning over traditional methods include reduced waste, lower operational costs, and increased safety for workers.

By attending these workshops, professionals can gain advanced skills, improve process efficiency, and stay informed about the latest technology and industry trends.

The Workshop will be followed by the Grand Opening of the new One Eighty laboratories in Mowbray, Cape Town at 17h00 for all WorkShop and Conference attendees
