Course objectives
Over the last decades, and thanks to recent progress in short-pulse lasers, laser processes are becoming ubiquitous in micro-scale manufacturing. The course objective will be to give an introduction to the use of lasers in various fields of micro-manufacturing, including cutting, ablation and additive/transformative processes. At the end of the course, participants will have 1/ learned what micromanufacturing operations can be done with lasers, 2/ acquired the knowledge to select an appropriate laser for their applications, and 3/ developed a basic knowledge for implementing a laser micro-manufacturing process.
Target group
This course is targetet to
- Companies interested in implemented laser processes, R&D services, technology monitoring.
- Executives involved in technological developments and implementation, manufacturing and production engineers, R&D staff.
Engineer level is required. Some background in manufacturing, optics, engineering physics or materials science is a plus, but not mandatory.
