Dr Mark Richmond speaking on 3D printing at LWoP Munich

This June our very own Dr Mark Richmond took part in an Industrial Laser Application Forum at the 2015 Laser World of Photonics in Munich, discussing the progress of Laser 3D printing.

The session featured six presentations looking at different aspects of practice, research and commercialization of metal Laser printing. These included optimising techniques for working some of the hardest “super-alloys” available such as Inconel and various forms of stainless steel.

Mark took part in the forum with 4 additional panelists:

• Dr Wilhelm Meiners, Group Leader at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT)
• Dr Dieter Schwarze, Scientific Coordinator at SLM Solutions
• Harald Schmid, of FIT AG
• Dr Thomas Ebert MD, IQ Evolution
