Meet Duncan + Laser Arc

Duncan is mechanical engineer at GE Global Research. And he's thrilled to say that he works on the technology that is expected to revolutionize how products are made in the future. Maybe revolutionize is too strong of a word but if we took this technology - called high-power laser arc welding - and compared it to conventional welding on something like an aircraft carrier, the new technology could save about 800 tons of weld metal -- the equivalent of more than 600 cars - and reduce the welding time by 80%.
