Abstract
Laser technologies are credited as one of the essential components of present pattern of the industrial competitive transmutation. Companies to respond with flexibility and efficiency are led to the technological combination of Laser, Robots and Optical Fiber systems to increase competitiveness through high productivity, innovation and quality assurance. Industrial and economical relevant aspects of the Laser era are dealt with while emphasizing the Laser processing of metallic and non- metallic materials, microelectronics fabrication and processing of semiconductors.
