Photonics West 2023

San Francisco / January 28, 2023 - February 02, 2023

Fraunhofer ILTs activities cover a wide range of areas such as the development of new laser beam sources and components, precise laser based metrology, testing technology and industrial laser processes. This includes laser cutting, caving, drilling, welding and soldering as well as surface treatment, micro processing and additive manufacturing.

Furthermore, the Fraunhofer ILT is engaged in laser plant technology, process control, modelling and simulation as well as in the entire system technology. We offer feasibility studies, process qualification and laser integration in customer specific manufacturing lines.

As part of the "German Pavilion" we are looking forward to meet you at our booth 4105 in hall F and during our talks.
