LASYS 2022
“The Place to beam” - The next LASYS will be held at the Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre from 21 to 23 June 2022. It is the only international trade fair which consistently focuses on system solutions for laser material processing. Since the start of the trade fair in 2008, it has become successfully established as a user platform for laser system solutions and applications. LASYS covers all industries and materials, and is primarily aimed at decision-makers from international industry.
