Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

These are great days for makers. Affordable 3D printers and CNC mills are popping up everywhere, opening up new worlds of production to wide ranges of designers. However, one major tool still hasn't ...

Laser levels come in a few different types, so consider what you plan on using yours for before purchasing. The most common type of laser levels are standard cross-line, which project one vertical and ...

I’ll level with you, until I was commissioned to cover these now central components of the construction industry, I’d never actually used a laser level before. Spirit levels, countless times in the ...

When we see a CO 2 laser cutter build around these parts, chances are pretty good that the focus will be on the mechatronics end, and that the actual laser will be purchased. So when we see a laser ...

[Jens] decided he wanted to try building his own laser cutter to see just how much you can actually cut with a fairly low power 300mW laser diode. He was inspired by a similar project from earlier ...

The YouTube channel DIY Builder has published and created a DIY Arduino laser engraver which is powered by an Arduino Nano development board and is fitted with a 200-250mW 650nm Laser Module. Check ...

Whether there's life beyond Earth is one of the most profound questions we can ask, and finding out is a cornerstone of many a space mission. But if there is anybody out there, they might also be ...

Researchers at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) have for the first time created complex 3D parts directly from a blank sheet of metal using only a laser cutter. Laser cutters typically cut 2D ...
