Production certainty
Production processes are becoming increasingly complex and effective. Fraunhofer researchers are presenting a new form of laser-based material processing at the LASER World of Photonics Trade Fair and Congress in Munich from 13-16 May 2013 (Hall C2, Booth 330). For the first time, surfaces can be treated, then imperfections detected and immediately corrected in a single step.

Three-dimensional monitoring of high-speed fabrication
If you want to gage the quality of castings on a production line, you need high-speed systems. A new type of measurement system delivers a quick 40 images per second – and they are three-dimensional. Researchers will present the system at the “LASER World of PHOTONICS 2013” Trade Fair and Congress in Munich May 13-16, 2013 (Hall B2, Booth D18).
