manufacturing and 3D printing,” states Baker. “These applications are reviewed in key industries.”
On April 26, attendees can begin their two days of educational sessions with Thomas Kugler, the Fiber Systems Manager at Laser Mechanisms, Inc., as he presents Main Laser Types Used for Manufacturing: Key Properties and Key Applications or Gravotech’s Frederic Lallemand and his presentation, State of the Art in Laser Marking. Following these, Tracey Ryba, the Product Manager of Lasers at TRUMPF Inc. will share Advances in Laser Cutting, while Michael Scaggs from Haas Laser Technologies, Inc. presents Beam Delivery: M2 and Why You Should Care.

The educational sessions on April 27 begin with Laser Safety for Industrial Laser Systems by LIA Education Director, Gus Anibarro, and Applications of Laser Micro-Machining by Henrikki Pantsar, Chief Technology Officer at Valoe Corporation. To conclude the day’s sessions, Robert Mueller from Massiv Automated Systems will present Economic Justification for Laser Applications: Choosing the Low-Cost Method of Manufacturing and Geoff Shannon of Amada Miyachi America, will discuss the Fundamentals of Laser Welding.
LME also features 90-minute tutorials that offer a thorough overview of topics. On the first day, Paul Webster will present Process Monitoring and Quality Control for Laser Applications. On the second day, Alabama Laser’s Wayne Penn will cover Laser Additive Manufacturing. An in-depth look at additive manufacturing in 3D printing, his presentation will discuss the endeavors and achievements in the 3D printing field, the challenges facing 3D manufacturing, future initiatives and more.
One of the most popular events at LME is the Laser Technology Showcase, where industry leaders give 30-minute keynote addresses that share the advantages of using laser technology. On the first day, LIA Past President, David Belforte, will present the Industrial Laser Market Overview, breaking down industrial laser revenues, discussing the state of market shares and the growth expected in the laser manufacturing marketplace. That afternoon, Shawn Kelly of EWI will discuss 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing of Metals.
On the second day of LME, Ralf Kimmel of TRUMPF Laser and Systems GmbH will cover Laser Applications in Automotive Manufacturing in his keynote address. With a discussion on
lightweight technologies, production processes, and materials used in car design, Mr. Kimmel will show numerous application examples, from new laser brazing technology to the welding of copper with new lasers at green wavelengths. GE Global Research’s Marshall Jones will close the day with his keynote presentation on Aerospace Applications.
In addition to educational opportunities, LME allots time for networking on the exhibit floor. Here, attendees can glimpse the latest laser equipment while gaining valuable ideas from the field’s leading producers. While the event’s tutorials focus on improving quality, flexibility and efficiency, attending suppliers help make those qualities a reality in people’s businesses.
For additional questions and insights, attendees can stop by the ‘Ask the Expert’ booth throughout the two-day conference. Headed by Neil Ball of Directed Light Inc., 20 industry leaders will rotate through the booth, providing constant assistance for anyone interested in gaining specific advice.
Through the guidance offered both in the educational sessions and on the exhibit floor, LME helps attendees not only learn crucial information on incorporating lasers into their production, but it helps them get started with instant access to top suppliers.
