EVENTS & NEWS
June 4th and 5th 2008
Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington
NWLEC ran a 2 day event in conjunction with AILU and NWPA showcasing opportunities in laser micro and nano processing, details below.
Day 1 June 4th 2008
Industrial and research opportunities in laser micro and nano processing
Presentations, exhibition & clinic
In this annual workshop, industrial users of laser processing technology,
suppliers of laser-based equipment and researchers in new laser technology
came together to present their applications. This workshop was run in conjunction with AILU (Association of Industrial Laser Users)

NWLEC
2nd Annual Conference on Novel Laser Processes for Microtechnology.
This was a
chance to review the progress to date on this NWDA funded
research programme, review our capability and see what benefits
interaction with NWLEC can bring.
The
conference was held at Staff House, on the Sackville Street
Campus, at The University of Manchester.
February 12th 2007
NWLEC takes lead role in the new MNT Laser Engineering Forum (MNTLEF) on the MNT forums.
The MNT Laser Engineering Forum (MNTLEF) has been set up to facilitate the development of novel laser processes for the benefit of UK industry and is led by the North West Laser Engineering Consortium (NWLEC). The aim of this forum is to provide researchers and developers of MNT products and services easy access to relevant and up to date information on laser processing issues that will help them in their business or research activities. It will also provide news on the latest developments in laser engineering relevant to MNT and easy access to experts in laser technologies.
