Farmington CT, April 15, 2003. TRUMPF Inc. Director of Laser Production and Development Holger Schlueter will speak at the First International Symposium on Nanomanufacturing to be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on April 24 to 26, 2003. Dr. Schlueter will speak about TRUMPF's experience in transforming new technologies into successful industrial solutions. His talk is titled "Transforming physics into profits."
The First International Symposium on Nanomanufacturing seeks to foster interaction between the manufacturing and nanotechnology communities. The event is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and co-sponsored by International Institution for Production Engineering Research and Society of Manufacturing Engineers.
"We are engineers and scientists at heart," says Schlueter, also the director of technology at TRUMPF Photonics. "We love making things that are at the edge of technology, but without a focus on customers' demands, all technology is useless. I'll share an overview and some examples of our experience in transforming new technologies into successful industrial solutions for customers."
TRUMPF began manufacturing industrial laser resonators in 1985. Today, they are the world's largest producer of industrial lasers. TRUMPF Inc., based in Farmington, Connecticut, has one of the largest Nd:YAG and CO2 laser manufacturing facilities in the United States. They also maintain a class 100 clean room for the manufacture of laser diodes at their TRUMPF Photonics facility.
Holger Schlueter is director of laser production and development for TRUMPF Inc. and the director of technology for TRUMPF Photonics, a manufacturer of high-power diode laser sources near Princeton, New Jersey. Dr. Schlueter has worked with high-power lasers for industrial applications since 1993 and holds several patents in the field of laser resonators and laser applications.
