Lasers in Manufacturing
About
Lasers are one of the most popular tools in the manufacturing industry with benefits that include:
· Increased accuracy
· Ease of Automation
· Fast cutting and welding
· Enabling technology for metal additive manufacturing
· Wide range of other processes including surface engineering, marking
· Flexibility
· Environmental
The webinar will focus on opportunities in Manufacturing arising from new developments of laser technology, including, for example, handheld lasers for welding and cleaning. It will include a keynote presentation on the use of Laser Technology in Manufacturing, present and in the future, and will illustrate the potential and benefits of this technology by the inclusion of specific case studies.
The webinar will give attendees a broader view of how lasers can have a significant impact for manufacturing processes and to think about how they will be able to utilise this technology in their own manufacturing operation.
The webinar will be held jointly with the Robotics and Mechatronics TN and the Manufacturing Management Group of the Merseyside & West Cheshire LN. It will be scheduled to precede the Industrial Laser Applications Symposium (ILAS) to be held 26th-27th March 2025 in Kenilworth, UK.
