The Laser Institute of America (LIA)—the professional society for lasers, laser applications, and laser safety worldwide, announces two events taking place at the Schaumburg Convention Center in Schaumburg, IL, USA, conveniently located near Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
The LAM® conference (March 27-28) will feature presentations on where and how to apply additive manufacturing concepts, with a distinct focus on laser technology. Several trending topics will be covered this year, notably Additive Manufacturing Applications, Selective Laser Melting, Laser Metal Deposition, Design for Additive Manufacturing, Process Monitoring, Metal Feedstock, and 3D Software Tools.
LME® (March 28-29) offers an interactive exhibit featuring laser specific solutions brought to you by field experts, who will be available to answer questions.

Participants can opt to attend a complimentary education track offered as part of the exhibit. This year’s focus will include 3D printing, Additive Manufacturing, Cutting, Drilling, Marking, and Welding. Attendees will also be invited on an exclusive tour of the TRUMPF Smart factory, which is just a short distance from the convention center.
