By Geoff Giordano

If additive manufacturing is becoming the next big thing as some experts and companies believe, the Laser Institute of America’s fifth-annual Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM®) Workshop helped pave the way by providing more information on the road map leading to an AM revolution.

Situated in its largest venue yet, LAM 2013 featured more than 20 presentations covering everything from nuts-and-bolts  cladding and repair to sky’s-the-limit projections of the growing impact of additive processes. While US government initiatives trumpet innovation in photonics and manufacturing, LIA continues to lead the charge in advocating greater profitability through advanced laser-based AM applications.
