5 Types of Lasers and How They work

Types of lasers

Lasers are high-energy beams of light that serve various purposes, ranging from communication and surgeries to industrial cutting and welding applications. However, each application requires a specific type of laser that fits its requirements. There are primarily 5 types of lasers that can be distinguished on the basis of their laser source and mode of … Read more

I-Joist vs Floor Truss: Which is Better?

I-Joists vs trusses.

An I-joist is a single horizontal load-bearing structural member that transfers loads from floors and ceilings to beams. Conversely, trusses are triangular configurations of beam-like components that support floors and roofs for structural stability. Additionally, they can span longer distances but are more expensive than I-joists. Here are the main differences between I-joists and floor … Read more

Engineered Floor Joists: Complete Guide

Engineered I-Joists.

Engineered floor joists are made of wood strands bonded with adhesive. They are stronger and lightweight than traditional joists and can span up to 60 feet. However, they are more expensive than traditional joists. One of the most common types is I-joists. A single batch of engineered joists is generally enough for constructing an entire … Read more

Laser Cutting Thickness and Speed Chart

laser cutting speed, feed, thickness, gas assist charts

In laser cutting, parameters like material thickness, cutting speed, assist gas, beam quality, laser power, and wavelength are all interrelated. In order to get a clean cut, different materials need different combinations (laser settings) of these parameters. Anyone looking to buy a laser cutter has to look at the laser type, its power, and the … Read more
