At Lasys 2018 – the International Trade Fair for Laser Material Processing – Messe Stuttgart expects a larger number of exhibitors and visitors as well as a further strengthening of its position as an indispensable industry meeting place for manufacturers, users, and decision-makers in industrial manufacturing. So said Florian Niethammer, team director of industrial solutions at Messe Stuttgart at the trade press conference at the Reichle Technology Center in Bissingen / Teck. Together with renowned experts, Christian Jung, managing director from GF Machining Solutions, a supplier of texturing machines, and Marco Reichle, company representative and divisional head of Reichle Technologiezentrum that is making use of a wide range of laser technologies, he previewed the trade fair.

“With a clear focus on laser production systems, Lasys is accompanied by laser-specific machine subsystems, laser sources, processes and services. Once again, the trade fair will demonstrate its role as the leading international trade fair for the use of lasers in industrial manufacturing,” said Niethammer. Lasys is the special platform for special application fields, new applications, industrial trends and innovations across all industries and materials. Smart system solutions, established and new manufacturing processes and applications all have one thing in common: their high focus on practical orientation. “That is precisely what industry decision-makers are looking for and in turn, this attracts numerous exhibitions from Germany and abroad.”
Increase in international significance
All in all, there are good prospects for an increase in the number of international exhibitors, industrial associations and institutes attending the sixth event of Lasys. Messe Stuttgart expects about two hundred exhibitors with one in three companies coming from abroad. “We have observed that Lasys has also gained in significance on the international scene,” said Niethammer and expects over 6,000 visitors from several countries.
The program includes exciting events aimed at a variety of different target groups. While the “Lasers in Action” technical forum contains three days of practice-oriented lectures in the exhibition hall, the Stuttgart Laser Days on 5 and 6 June aim at a transfer of knowledge between international experts and users. At the Stuttgart Laser Marketplace on 6 June, leading experts from market research and industry will lecture on markets, technologies and applications in industrial laser technology. On 5 June, there will be a workshop on the topic of “Laser material processing in medical technology”. On 6 June, the “Laser build-up welding” workshop will take place. In addition, on 7 June, there will be a networking meeting for “Women in Photonics” held by PhotonicsBW and the “EPIC meeting on lasers and material processing at Lasys” conducted by the European Photonics Industry Consortium.
Events taking place concurrently provide a view beyond the boundaries of the laser industry. They include Cast-Forge, the International Trade Fair for Surface Treatments and Coating, the Automotive Testing Expo, the Automotive Interiors Expo, the Autonomous Vehicle Technology World Expo, the Engine Expo and the Global Automotive Components and Suppliers Expo.
