LiM 2017 | Laser Chirp

As part of the World of Photonics Congress’s Additive Manufacturing subconference at LiM 2017, North American laser manufacturing leaders shared a comprehensive look at the latest developments and innovations.

ORLANDO, FL – The Laser Institute of America (LIA) presented its 90 minute session, AM: Trends in North America, on Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at the International Congress Center in Munich, Germany. The session was part of the Additive Manufacturing subconference of Lasers in Manufacturing (LiM) 2017 at the World of Photonics Congress Lasers in Manufacturing event, held from June 26-29, 2017 and organized by the German Scientific Laser Society (WLT).

The session was part of the Additive Manufacturing subconference of Lasers in Manufacturing (LiM) 2017 at the World of Photonics Congress Lasers in Manufacturing event.

Lasers in Manufacturing (LiM) is a scientific conference focusing on the latest trends in laser materials processing for industrial applications. LiM prides itself as a comprehensive international forum for researchers and experts in laser-based manufacturing.

World of Photonics Congress meets biannually, uniting the “scientific elite” to gather information in the realm of photonics research. The event covers all aspects of research from application-based topics, to the latest applications in industry and medicine. World of Photonics Congress also offers conferences and practice-oriented application panels.

LIA shares in the World of Photonics Congress’s mission of providing laser professionals with valuable events that present and discuss innovative insights with the laser community. The new 90-minute session specifically focused on North American additive manufacturing bolstered the body of knowledge in industry research at the global LiM gathering.

“LIA was honored to collaborate with World of Photonics Congress on this year’s inaugural North American additive manufacturing event,” said Jim Naugle, LIA’s Marketing Director. “We are excited to add our insight and knowledge to the collective expertise found at LiM and are thrilled about this year’s robust attendance. Due to its success, we look forward to possibly expanding our role at future events.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Laser Institute of America (LIA) will organize for the first time a 1.5 hour Additive Manufacturing (AM) session called AM: Trends in North America as part of the World of PhotonicsCongress LiM 2017 event.

Held on Wednesday, June 28, 2017, from 2:00-3:30 PM local time at the International Congress Center in Munich, Germany, the event runs as a session of a subconference of the larger LiM event from June 26-29, 2017. LiM is a scientific conference on the latest advances and future trends in the field of laser materials processing, with a focus on potential for industrial applications. Organized by the German Scientific Laser Society (WLT), LiM 2017 is the premier international forum for researchers and experts in laser manufacturing.

The unprecedented AM session offered by LIA is intended to provide updates on the most current laser additive manufacturing applications and offer a helpful perspective regarding how American and Canadian companies are successfully using AM technology to reduce cost and increase efficiency.

“Now is an important time to be a part of all that is developing in the AM world in North America,” said Jim Naugle, LIA’s Marketing Director. “We are pleased to add our knowledge and insight to the vast body of additive manufacturing expertise offered at LiM 2017 through the AM: Trends in North America session.”

Attendees will include engineers, manufacturing managers, system integrators, precision parts specialists, and OEMs from all over the world in fields such as business development, manufacturing, construction, and design.

Featured Keynote David Ott from the Global Humanitarian Lab (GHL) will explain how 3D Printing can bring together the humanitarian world (private, academic and scientific) to address common challenges in disaster affected communities.

Other invited speakers include Rob Martinsen, CTO of nLight, and William Herbert, Director of Corporate Development for Carpenter Technologies. Martinsen will speak of breakthrough solutions for additive manufacturing and Herbert will cover material requirements. The session will come to a conclusion with presenter Yannick Lafue, Business Developer for Aeronautics, Defense and Oil & Gas at IREPA LASER with his presentation on AM with LMD-CLAD process: an Industrial opportunity.
