With PICALO considered as "the Olympics" for international laser materials processing, we have 150 reasons why you should own the 2008 Proceedings CD.
The PICALO 2008 Proceedings CD includes more than 150 papers presented at the 3rd Pacific International Conference of Lasers and Optics in Beijing, China.
Gain a global perspective with the PICALO 2008 Proceedings CD. PICALO focuses on the growth and application of lasers and optics in the Pacific region. Researchers, engineers, suppliers, and industry professionals from around the world gather at this unique event to share knowledge, experiences, and their vision for the future.

PICALO is comprised of two great conferences, each packed with the latest developments and progress in lasers and applications. The CD features papers from the Laser Materials Processing conference and the Micro, Nano, and Ultrafast Machining conference.

1) The Laser Materials Processing Conference
Take your understanding of laser materials processing to a whole new level. Discover the latest developments from across the world in laser cutting/machining, surface modification, welding, additive manufacturing, lasers and systems, modeling and simulation, drilling and forming, and industrial applications.

The CD includes papers on the most significant industry topics including:

• New laser crack-free cutting techniques for ceramics
• Laser cleaving on glass
• Fiber laser marking and welding
