Substituting conventional steel alloys by carbon fibre composites in structural parts of an existing laser cutting equipment

In the present work, a finite element (FE) analysis was employed to validate the use of advanced carbon fibre composites as replacement of traditional low-alloy steel in the construction of the main runway frame structure of a laser cutting equipment currently available in the market. This new compo...
