This year's 6^th Conference on Laser Polishing LaP will be held for the first time in combination with the 1^st Conference on Laser-based Optics Manufacturing LOM.
We look forward to welcoming you to this groundbreaking event that brings together leading experts, researchers and industrialists from the world of laser processing and optics manufacturing.

This year we are broadening our horizons by combining the latest developments, challenges and successes in laser polishing with the innovative technologies and applications in laser-based optics manufacturing. This combination allows for a rich discussion on the synergies between the two fields as well as the future opportunities and trends in laser processing and optics manufacturing.

The conference provides a unique platform to exchange knowledge, present research results and discuss the latest technologies and applications. We cordially invite you to take part in this inspiring event, expand your network and help shape the future of laser processing and optics manufacturing.

With 70 to 80 participants from different areas of industry and science, LaP has established itself as one of the most important conferences on laser polishing.

LaP 2024 | LOM 2024 will take place this year from October 15 -16, 2024 at the Fraunhofer ILT in Aachen.

Main Topics

• Laser polishing of metals (e. g. functional surfaces, mechanical properties, additive manufactured parts)
• Laser polishing of glass and laser-based processes for manufacturing optical surfaces (SLE, USP, shape ablation)
• Precision shape correction of optical surfaces
• Laser polishing of other materials such as plastics
• Laser deburring
• Further related topics (e. g. metrology and process control)
