Welcome to the 2024 LAM® Workshop!

We are excited to announce the 12th year of the Laser Additive Manufacturing workshop (LAM) will include an emphasis on three key technology areas (Lasers, Optics, and Sensors) relating to the advancement and validation of Laser Additive Manufacturing. The event will be held 15-17 July 2024 in Dayton, Ohio, with a kickoff reception planned the evening of July 15th. This unique workshop will dive deeply into the latest technology advancements relating to laser/multi-laser processing, operational wavelengths, beam shaping, and process event sensing with related technology demonstrations accompanying presentations. The workshop will highlight: Lasers: Advancements in laser operational modes, wavelength generation, and multibeam implementation considerations for Laser Additive Manufacturing including effects resulting from temporal pulse shaping, operational wavelength, wavelength variation, and multi-beam processing/interactions.

Optics: Laser resonator-based and post-laser optical beam shaping options effecting spatial energy distribution including resonator-based modulation, multi-beam interference modulation, and optical energy redistribution.

Sensors: Imaging and thermal sensing technologies providing measurements and/or representations of pre-melt powder state, post melt process state, and in-situ melt pool temperature/profile characterization including material heating, melt, consolidation, and cooling.

In addition, the LAM 2024 Workshop will highlight regional workforce training initiatives relating to the incorporation of educational materials covering Advanced Photonics Manufacturing from 6th grade through college-level academic and licensing/ certification programs. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet up with other professionals from around the world to learn, share, and to make new friends.

See you in Dayton!

Dayton, Ohio Birthplace of Aviation

Welcome to Dayton!

Dayton is a city located in southwestern Ohio, in the United States. It is the sixthAverage July largest city in the state, with a population of over 140,000 residents. Known for Temperatures its rich aviation history and contributions to science and technology, Dayton has 84°F / 29°C High become a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. It also has a rich aviation 64°F / 18°C Low history and is often referred to as the “birthplace of aviation” due to the Wright brothers’ work on powered flight. Orville and Wilbur Wright lived in Dayton and conducted much of their research and experimentation on flight here. Whether you’re interested in aviation, history, science, the arts, or simply looking for a welcoming community, Dayton is a city worth exploring.

Dayton’s Don’t Miss List: National Museum of the United States Air Force; Dayton History Museum; Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park; Cox Arboretum and Gardens

Education Meets Industry Symposium Monday, July 15, 2024

The Education Meets Industry (EMI) Symposium is kicked off by Dr. Larry R. Dosser (LIA Fellow) and promises insights into historical context, current workforce demands, and future trends in defense and industry.

EMI focuses on laser materials processing and additive manufacturing, highlighting the increasing need for skilled technicians with interdisciplinary expertise. Presentations advocate a return to fundamentals, emphasizing the importance of mastering basics like laser material interaction. Dayton’s integration of DRSS-CAMP with Clark State College’s Laser Material Processing Pathway ensures students access state-of-theart equipment, preparing them for industry demands. This collaboration represents a Symposium Chair: significant step in bridging the gap between education and industry, fostering a new Joe Sciabica Talent Development Center generation of adaptable manufacturing professionals.
