The Laser Materials Processing Conferenceprogram is full of excellent contributions covering 19 sessions in many different application fields, including a new format of a sub-plenary session. Major fields of applications are rapid prototyping processes like selective laser melting and laser metal deposition and welding, including combination processes and processing of dissimilar materials. Laser surface treatment, process control and modeling and simulation are further topics to be addressed.

The Laser Microprocessing Conferencewill present an in-depth view into the evolving world of micro-scale laser applications, innovative optics and advances in laser sources. Development in this growing field is fast-paced, and the ICALEO congress is the place to visit to see and hear the state of the art in applied research and gain knowledge of development trends. Technologies presented in this conference will be the drivers for efficient manufacturing and sustainable growth in the future.

The Nanomanufacturing Sessionof ICALEO presents nanomanufacturing papers relevant to laser technologies. Much progress has been achieved in laser direct writing, laser nanomachining, nanofabrication using ultrafast lasers and laser-assisted growth of nanostructures. This conference will highlight research in emerging nanomanufacturing technologies in 3-D micro/nanofabrication, two-photon lithography, laser synthesis and diagnostics of carbon nanomaterial, epitaxial growth of graphene for optoelectronics, nanolithography, nanoscale thermal imaging, plasmonics, surface nanostructuring, laser sintering and laser-assisted growth and epitaxy. These studies encompass a variety of applications, including nanoelectronics, photonic crystals, optoelectronics, sensors and plasmonic devices.
