In recent years, 5 axis laser cutting has emerged as a game changer in the field, offering greater precision, efficiency and versatility. In traditional laser cutting, the laser beam is directed onto a flat surface of the material, which is then cut along a straight line. 5 axis laser cutting, on the other hand, allows […]

The U.S. DoD’s Space Development Agency (SDA) is crafting a large constellation of satellites—expected to cost roughly $35B through 2029—and currently working on switching from radio-frequency (RF) comms to speed-of-light laser comms to support them. Why is this work critical? A constellation of satellites with laser comms can perform mission-critical tasks from missile tracking and
