Make it with Lasers^TM

Make It With Lasers^TM is a non-profit making long-term programme designed to help industry increase productivity, reduce costs and improve quality by the application of lasers within the manufacturing process. It is committed to the transfer of existing, well-proven technology to generate a competitive edge in world markets. The strategic importance of Make It With Lasers^TM is recognised by Government and industry alike.

Make It With Lasers^TM, which is managed by TWI and sponsored by progressive organisations with an interest in widening the use of industrial lasers, is seen as a vital technology transfer activity and an important element in the UK's wealth creation process. It provides a golden opportunity for manufacturers to make a step-by-step objective assessment of the viability of lasers in their companies - without facing difficulties or taking unnecessary risks.

The programme takes the form of a series of workshops targeted at either a sector of industry or application of specific technology. These workshops focus on the practical aspects of applying lasers to manufacturing tasks and are run by technologists with know-how and practical experience of putting lasers to work on the shopfloor. The underlying principles of materials processing by laser are examined, and how the technology can be used to best advantage is explained.
