What is LIA's Lasers for Manufacturing Event (LME) all about?
LME was conceptualized to avail North America manufacturers a local venue for exploring the use of Lasers in their manufacturing process. LME will serve as a one stop shop for manufacturers where they can learn more about lasers, speak directly with laser companies that provide the full spectrum of laser technology and learn how lasers can help them.
