RPM Laser Systems
RPM and Associates currently has two seperate systems that utilize
Laser Deposition Technology (LDT). The first,
353 Laser Deposition System I,
has a 3' X 5' X 3' work envelope. The second system,
557 Laser Deposition System II,
has a 5' X 5' X 7' work envelope.
The 353 Laser Deposition System I is the first generation system that was
acquired in 2004. The system, an L850R manufactured by
Optomec, utilizes LENS®
technology developed by Sandia National Laboratories,
Albuquerque, N.Mex., and Pratt & Whitney. LENS® is a registered trademark
of Sandia National Laboratories.
Since 2004, RPM and Associates has made a number of improvements to the
original system to meet the special needs of its customers. The
specifications for the 353 Laser Deposition System I are outlined below.
