    Abstract: Laser-assisted micromachining methods and systems capable of providing flexible beam positioning and low incident angles. Such laser-assisted micromachining systems preferably include a laser beam source, a cutting tool, means for engaging a workpiece with the cutting tool, optical elements arranged to define a path of a laser beam emitted by the laser beam source wherein the optical elements include at least a first mirror mounted in fixed relation to the laser beam source, and means for adjustably mounting a second mirror to project the laser beam onto the workpiece in proximity to the cutting tool and at an incidence angle relative to a surface of the workpiece.

    Abstract: Methods capable of forming holes in, etching the surface of, or otherwise ablating substrates, and substrates formed thereby. A first method includes directing a first laser beam pulse towards a substrate to form a hole in a surface thereof and to form a plasma plume at least partially within the hole wherein the plasma plume has insufficient thermal energy and expansion velocity to etch sidewall of the hole, and directing a second laser beam pulse into the plasma plume to increase the temperature and expansion velocity of the plasma plume such that the sidewall is etched causing an increase in the cross-sectional dimension of the hole. A second method includes applying a liquid to a surface of a substrate, and directing a laser beam pulse into the liquid to create plasma on the surface of the substrate that etches portions of the surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: An integrated laser material processing cell allowing laser-assisted machining to be used in conjunction with directed material deposition in a single setup, achieving greater geometric accuracy and better surface finish than currently possible in existing laser freeform fabrication techniques. The integration of these two processes takes advantage of their common use of laser beam heat to process materials. The cell involves a multi-axis laser-assisted milling machine having a work spindle, a laser emitter, and means for positioning the emitter with respect to the spindle so as to direct a laser beam onto a localized area of a work piece in proximity to a cutting tool mounted in the spindle. A powder delivery nozzle mounted on the machine and positioned adjacent to the emitter delivers powder to a deposition zone in the path of the beam, such that material deposition and laser-assisted milling may be performed substantially simultaneously in a single workspace.
