Lasers play a key role in the manufacturing of the future. Whether tailored 3D print of lightweight construction components or precise bores using an ultra-short pulse laser, the range of applications stretches across all sectors of manufacturing. Bundled light is a core element of Industry 4.0, in which the virtual, digital world is connected to real manufacturing. The laser cuts, hardens, welds, polishes, measures, produces microstructures, traces errors and removes material. In the process, lasers impress with their high precision and speed. The fact that lasers are so widely used in production technology today is thanks in part to Fraunhofer.
