When research and industry come together to advance laser micromachining
The development of new laser processes never happens in isolation. It relies on close collaboration between research centres, engineers and industrial players, capable of bridging the gap between theory and real-world constraints.
With this approach in mind, LASEA organised a webinar in collaboration with CEIT Centro Tecnológico, focusing on a real case study of laser micromachining applied to complex industrial challenges. This exchange highlighted a key element of LASEA’s positioning, the ability to transform R&D challenges into controlled and reliable industrial processes.

A real case study to understand laser micromachining challenges
At the core of this webinar: a real case study illustrating how laser micromachining technologies can address advanced constraints in terms of precision, materials and geometry.
The discussions focused in particular on:
- defining and optimising laser parameters
- adapting processes to technical materials
- managing thermal constraints
- transitioning from development to production
This approach demonstrates that laser micromachining is not just a technology, but a true driver of industrial innovation.
LS-Lab: a platform at the heart of process development
The webinar also highlighted the central role of the LS-Lab, LASEA’s laser process development platform.
Designed for engineers and researchers, the LS-Lab enables:
- testing and developing new processes
- accessing a wide range of laser parameters
- exploring different optical configurations
- rapidly validating applications
Thanks to its modular and scalable architecture, the LS-Lab adapts to the specific needs of each project, whether in fundamental research, application development or pre-industrialisation.
This approach helps reduce development cycles and secure the transition to production.
Laser processes at the core of industrial applications
The technologies presented during the webinar cover a wide range of laser micromachining processes, essential across many industrial sectors:
High-precision cutting for complex materials
Micrometre-level drilling for technical components
Functional engraving and surface structuring
Durable traceability without material alteration
Advanced surface functionalisation
Precise assembly without mechanical stress
Shaping complex geometries
These processes address major industrial challenges such as miniaturisation, performance, repeatability and the reduction of production steps.
Collaboration as a driver of innovation
The collaboration with CEIT perfectly illustrates how LASEA approaches innovation: by connecting applied research with real industrial needs.
This type of partnership makes it possible to confront theoretical models with industrial constraints, accelerate the development of new processes, and secure the transition toward real-world applications.
The event gathered more than 50 participants, highlighting the strong interest in this collaborative approach. Building on this success, LASEA and its partners plan to continue and expand this format in the future.
It also contributes to advancing photonic technologies on an international scale, by leveraging complementary expertise.
