Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V.

Welcome to the LZH

On June 20, 1986 the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) was founded under the patronage of the German State Ministry of Trade, Industry, Technology, and Transportation in Lower Saxony. Our main task is to support applied research in laser technology on a non-profit basis. The LZH is involved in:

R&D projects in the field of laser development and laser applications
Technical and scientific consulting to link research and practice
Industry-oriented training of experts for applying and operating laser systems

Through the close cooperation between production engineers, material scientists, and physicists we find interdisciplinary solutions for all fields of laser applications.

New Laser Cutting Processes for CFRP- Materials

02.03.2010

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are being increasingly used as a construction material in the automotive and aerospace industry, as well as for wind energy and even in the field of sports and leisure activities. Conventional machining processes such as mechanical and water jet cutting are no longer able to meet the demands for increased atomization, a higher cutting speed and lower tool wear. By using "light" for cutting, laser processing can meet these demands, leading to an increase in productivity.

LZH-Nanoparticles on the Rise: International Conference ANGEL 2010 and Exhibition in the Deutsche Museum

19.01.2010

The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is coming out big in 2010 with ultrapure nanoparticles for medical applications. One example are LZH nanoparticle exponants that can currently be seen at the new “Center for New Technologies” (ZNT) at the Deutsche Museum in Munich. Also, in 2010 the LZH will host the first international conference on the generation of ultrapure nanoparticles.
