LASYS, the only biennial international trade fair to focus on solutions for laser materials processing, will open June 21-23, 2022, at Messe Stuttgart in Germany. Initially started in 2008, when Industrial Laser Solutions was a premiere exhibitor, this show that features laser system solutions and applications aimed at international decision-makers has grown over the years, with 189 exhibitors greeting over 5700 visitors.

LASYS 2022 should again offer a platform for the industrial knowledge transfer and professional exchange of information and ideas in the industry, bringing together those looking for solutions and providers specializing in laser material processing. “At LASYS, a scientific professional program and practical laser applications are closely interlinked. As a specialist for laser microprocessing, we feel at home here,” highlights Florian Lendner, CEO of GFH GmbH and Member of the LASYS Advisory Board. The show offers opportunities for networking within the industry and conversations with experts with new concepts.

Attendees will also benefit from the knowledge transfer of the Stuttgart Laser Technology Forum (SLT), organized by the Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge (IFSW), which brings together researchers, developers, and users in a congress on the first two days of the trade fair. Since 2008, the SLT has been held in close cooperation with LASYS.

David Belforte (1932-2023) was an internationally recognized authority on industrial laser materials processing and had been actively involved in this technology for more than 50 years. His consulting business, Belforte Associates, served clients interested in advanced manufacturing applications. David held degrees in Chemistry and Production Technology from Northeastern University (Boston, MA). As a researcher, he conducted basic studies in material synthesis for high-temperature applications and held increasingly important positions with companies involved with high-technology materials processing. He co-founded a company that introduced several firsts in advanced welding technology and equipment. David's career in lasers started with the commercialization of the first industrial solid-state laser and a compact CO₂ laser for sheet-metal cutting. For several years, he led the development of very high power CO₂ lasers for welding and surface treating applications. In addition to consulting, David was the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Industrial Laser Solutions magazine (1986-2022) and contributed to other laser publications, including Laser Focus World. He retired from Laser Focus World in late June 2022.
