11th International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication (LPM 2010)

Miniaturization and high precision are rapidly becoming a requirement in many industrial processes and products.
As result, there is greater interest in the use of laser microfabrication approaches to achieve these goals. The International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication (LPM) is annually held to provide a forum for research and technology development in the area of laser micro/nanofabrication. The unique aspect of this symposium is the interchange between fundamental research and industrial applications.

LPM is held alternatively in Japan and in other host countries. To date, LPM has been successfully hosted in
Omiya, Singapore, Osaka, Munich, Nara, Williamsburg, Interchange between research and industry Kyoto, Vienna, Quebec and Kobe. In 2010 it will be held in the International Congress Center on the new fairgrounds of Stuttgart, concurrently with International Trade Fair for System Solutions in Laser Materials Processing LASYS and Stuttgarter Lasertage SLT. Stuttgart, well known as car capital is also the center of one of the most advanced regions in the field of manufacturing with lasers. Suppliers like Trumpf and pioneering users like Daimler and Bosch are located here and  benefit from renowned research infrastructure.
