Make It With Lasers^TM Seminar and Exhibition

'Light Years Ahead - An Introduction to, and Advances in, New Laser Technology'

Tuesday 28th October 2008
Imperial War Museum, Duxford

In recent years there has been an unprecedented level of development in laser technologies for materials processing, including advancements to laser sources and their use. These developments have increased the beam quality, increased the efficiencies and reduced the size of laser sources. In addition, the number of useful laser sources whose beams can be beneficially delivered through fibre optics has increased.

This event will present the state-of-the-art in this ever progressing field, allowing attendees to make informed decisions regarding their existing and potential laser processing requirements, to minimise cost and maximise performance.

Why attend:

This event will provide:

An opportunity to find out how lasers can improve your business.
An opportunity to learn how to improve productivity through the introduction of laser technology.
An assessment of the benefits arising from enhanced product quality and performance.
An opportunity to identify new manufacturing opportunities and solutions.
A networking opportunity with engineers experienced in manufacturing with lasers.
