Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT

COMPAMED 2022

Hall 8a, booth F19.5

With over 500 employees, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT is one of the most important contract research and development institutes in its field worldwide. Our core competencies are laser beam source development, laser production and measurement technology, as well as laser medical technology. In the latter, the ILT develops novel processes and systems for microfluidic sorting and screening applications, applicators for therapeutic laser treatments and laser processes for manufacturing, such as welding transparent plastics.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT is worldwide one of the most important development and contract research institutes of its specific field with 500 employees and more than 19,500 m² net floor space The activities cover a wide range of areas such as the development of new laser beam sources and components, precise laser based metrology, testing technology and industrial laser processes. This includes laser cutting, caving, drilling, welding and soldering as well as surface treatment, micro processing and rapid manufacturing.
Furthermore, the Fraunhofer ILT is engaged in laser plant technology, process control, modelling and simulation as well as in the entire system technology. We offer feasibility studies, process qualification and laser integration in customer specific manufacturing lines. The Fraunhofer ILT is part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, with 72 institutes, more than 25,000 employees and an annual research budget of 2.3 billion euros.
