High Power Laser Applications Workshop
** SAVE THE DATE – 2 July 2026 **
Introduction
High power fibre lasers have transformed modern manufacturing — delivering exceptional beam quality, energy efficiency, and reliability across an ever-expanding range of industrial applications. This event brings together leading engineers, researchers, and technology providers to explore what today’s high power fibre laser systems can do, and where they are headed next.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into laser applications spanning cutting, welding, cladding and more. From thin sheet to heavy section, from precision micro-processing to high-throughput production, the full capability of modern fibre laser technology will be on display.
Whether you are looking to adopt fibre laser technology for the first time, scale up existing processes, or stay ahead of the latest developments in beam delivery, system integration, and process optimisation, this showcase offers the connections and knowledge to move your work forward.
AILU is proud to collaborate in this event with IPG Photonics GmbH who are hosting the workshop at their European Customer Centre, in Burbach, Germany. This event is open to all AILU members and non-members who will be able to experience some of the latest developments in high power laser sources and applications.
Tickets are available from IPG and more details will follow shortly as we arrange the programme of speakers and exhibitors. As the event takes place in Germany, all delegates and exhibitors will be invoiced by IPG, the official host of the event.
