Development prospect of laser processing
Huazhong University of Science and Technology laser research expert Zhu Xiao said: "did not grasp the core technology, the purchase cost is too high, is the main reason China high-end laser, laser equipment market has long been occupied by foreign products.
But from the overall strength, China's high power laser cutting technology and complete sets of equipment is still in its infancy, the United States put into use laser cutting machine has 25000 units, while China has only more than 600 units.
. According to the China Optical Association, the laser processing industry in China has developed rapidly, and the total output value has increased from 160 million yuan in 1999 to 1 billion 200 million yuan in 2003.
Laser applied to material processing is praised as the revolution of manufacturing technology.
