Laser technology is a constant companion to the ever-increasing hot stamping technology. A primary application is in the trimming of hardened parts. There is an array of laser applications found in the process chain of hot stamping.

Laser technology is positioned to enable this trend or, in other cases, to give alternatives in the manufacturing process.
