Bayerisches Laserzentrum gGmbH

The Bavarian Laser Centre (BLZ) is committing itself since 1993 with its entire expertise to the development of new ideas and products in the domain of laser technology. The field of activity of the BLZ comprises the complete spectrum of laser material processing and metrology both in the micro and in the macro sphere. Some examples are the technique for joining micro-parts such as electronic and mechatronic components, the laser welding of synthetic materials, the accurate laser adjustment of micro-parts, the use of laser radiation in medical technology as well as laser-assisted rapid prototyping and rapid tooling processes. The BLZ does not only work on publicly subsidised research and development tasks but it also cooperates with business companies both at regional and national level. As their engineering-partner, it offers assistance in the development of processes and systems up to their launch. This includes for example the handling of orders, the production of sample parts and pilot lots as well as the introduction of new technologies into the production process.

Education and further training are a matter of particular interest to the BLZ. In cooperation with the universities, the Bavarian Laser Centre qualifies students within the context of their diploma theses and research projects and offers them interesting possibilities for a practical training. Furthermore, the BLZ arranges events to provide information for students and teachers. In close collaboration with the LGA Bayern the BLZ qualifies skilled personnel from industry and trade as laser safety commissaries. With its national and international conferences, seminars and workshops the Bavarian Laser Centre brings together researchers, developers and users within the scope of applied laser technology with the aim to further develop this key technology in a forward-looking way. Eventually, the active participation of the BLZ in a series of networks of the optical technologies is further ensuring the transfer of knowledge from research to industry.
