Application prospect of laser

The future development trend of laser industry is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, the national industrial policy supports the development of laser processing technology. From the national industrial policies such as "accelerating the development of strategic emerging industries", "intelligent manufacturing in China" and "new infrastructure" supported by the state, it can be seen that the application market of laser technology in the future is broad, and laser manufacturing has the innate "genetic advantage" of intelligent manufacturing, and the development prospect of laser industry is generally better because of the strong support of national industrial policies.

second, with the guidance of the capital market, complete the industrial layout. Introducing capital into the laser industry can increase R&D investment, improve the ability of independent innovation and expand the domestic production rate; The second is to accelerate vertical integration and open up the laser industry chain. In recent years, the capital market of the laser industry has attracted considerable attention. Bochu Electronics, Jiepute, Lianying Laser, Haimuxing and Dier Laser have successively landed in science and technology innovation board. Science and technology innovation board and Growth Enterprise Market in the national securities market provide a large growth space for the industry. "When developing the laser industry, we should change our thinking, take the road of strong alliance and capital integration, and get out of the bottleneck of industrial development."

thirdly, the globalization trend of laser industry is more obvious. With the increasing scale and market of China's laser industry, it is imperative for domestic enterprises to participate in global competition. "At present, the share of domestic laser companies in the China market is constantly expanding, but in terms of laser equipment, Trumpf is still the global leader in laser equipment manufacturing, and there is still a clear gap with them. This is what we need to catch up with. "

fourthly, technological innovation realizes intelligence and automation. Only by mastering the core technology can we have an advantage in the upstream and downstream competition of the industrial chain in the face of crisis. At present, the requirements for laser processing are becoming more and more intelligent, which breaks the original single laser marking machine, welding machine, cutting machine and other equipment, and gradually tends to smart chemical plants and automatic production lines. For example, the "laser+smart factory" solution proposed by South China University of Technology Laser and the three-dimensional five-axis laser automatic cutting equipment have made South China University of Technology Laser gain a favorable market competitive position in the epidemic era. "Technological innovation is endless, and companies without technological innovation capabilities will inevitably be eliminated by the market environment."

fifth, develop more new applications. At present, the development of laser technology is becoming more and more mature. On the one hand, the power is rising, and the power of fiber laser exceeds 4 kW;. On the one hand, the fineness is constantly improving, and picosecond and femtosecond laser technologies are gradually maturing and industrialized. Development in many aspects is bound to expand many industries, and even give birth to many emerging industries. The future application of laser industry should focus on the wide application of ultrafast laser, the application of laser cleaning in aerospace, the three-dimensional and five-axis laser breaking foreign monopoly, and the large-scale market of laser 3D printing.
