Two Horizon 2020 projects are set to begin at the start of 2019 that will see the development of two new ultrafast laser systems

A new €1.99 million EU-funded research project is aiming to produce complete laser systems using 3D printing

A consortium of European researchers and companies has developed an integrated software solution as part of a Horizon 2020 project that it says will optimise additive manufacturing

Opportunities could soon be on the horizon for laser manufacturers thanks to a new type of cold storage technology under development by Microsoft Research

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in the US have developed a chip-sized sensor that could be built into manufacturing systems in order to measure laser power in real time

Fraunhofer ILT is developing two new optical modules that will increase the speed of laser polishing, coating and surface structuring applications by a factor of 10 while reducing their cost by half

The developers of Extreme High-Speed Laser Material Deposition (EHLA), a process that can be used to coat, repair or additively manufacture components in an economical and environmentally friendly way, have been awarded first prize of the tenth Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis
