It cannot be repeated often enough. Inspection of solar panels during production improves the quality, lifetime and energy conversion efficiency, as well as production cost. When inspection takes place from the earliest moments in production, it helps pick out the downgraded silicon material before it can obtain added value through later stages of manufacturing or cause machine downtime from parts broken due to defects. So, careful testing of wafers and PV cells during the entire production process is very important. Even during the pre-wafer stage, the ingots and bricks should be checked. Today, well developed vision inspection methods exist for dimensional measurement and checking of external solar cell features such as edge quality and electrical connections. However, because silicon i…

Early on, it appeared there was a market for the laser cutter. Von Minden and Trester-Wilson noticed that many of their acquaintances in the architecture world were dependent on it and had a rude awakening when they graduated. “They relied on the ability to rapidly fabricate almost any idea they could wrap their head around,” von Minden says. “And all of a sudden there was no 3-D printer, laser cutter or other equipment people were using in the world of architecture.” So the two crafters began testing the market by designing and creating their own laser cut products from jewelry to bookmarks. Because they didn’t have the machine yet, they outsourced the laser cutting and sold their products at craft and holiday shows, eventually participating in the East Austin Studio Tour, which continue…
