How femtosecond laser is enhancing automotive lighting design and manufacturing

In recent years, there has been a clear trend towards miniaturization in the industry. Why? Because smaller means lighter, more efficient, more compact, and more sustainable. However, miniaturization comes with a major challenge: manufacturing precision at microscopic scales in a cost-effective way that ensures feasibility for large-scale production.

Developing tomorrow’s laser processes: insights from the LASEA x CEIT webinar

The development of new laser processes never happens in isolation. It relies on close collaboration between research centres, engineers and industrial players, capable of bridging the gap between theory and real-world constraints. With this approach in mind, LASEA organised a webinar in collaboration with CEIT Centro Tecnológico, focusing on a real case study of laser micromachining applied to complex industrial challenges. This exchange highlighted a key element of LASEA’s positioning, the abi
