About

Laser material processing is an essential technology in modern production. Laser beam steering systems are used to move the laser beam on the workpiece surface. Solutions based on moving masses such as galvanometer- or polygon-scanners are often the limiting factor in terms of process speed and productivity in laser material processing.

At INLEAP Photonics we are overcoming the limitations of mass inertia. With our technology, we provide highly productive, flexible and ultra-fast laser beam steering systems to the industry. With these systems, our customers raise the full potential of laser material processing in terms of throughput, efficiency and cost. Furthermore, we develop customized solutions according to individual customer requirements.

Get ready for a new era of ultra-fast and sustainable laser material processing and leap into the future of laser beam steering with INLEAP Photonics – Laser in motion!

Management

INLEAP Photonics was founded in 2023 by long-time colleagues as a spin-off of the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH). Our management consists of highly qualified experts and unites extensive know-how in the fields of laser technology, process automation, mechanical engineering and business development. Our diverse skills complement each other perfectly and we work together to develop sustainable and innovative laser beam steering systems with focus on productivity, reliability, and safety. As a team, we are proud to provide our customers a new generation of laser manufacturing technology.

Projects

Supported by NBank, funded by Europäischer Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE)

We are pleased to announce that we are working on a new kind of control system for INLEAP® FASTLIGHT® as part of a project funded by the NBank and the Europäischer Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE) in collaboration with the Laser Zentrum Hannover e. V. The aim is to develop a functional demonstrator of a dynamic, autonomous control system for an ultra-fast laser beam steering system. We look forward to the upcoming collaboration and the development of the novel control solution that uses AI to enhance production productivity.

If you want to know more about the project, feel free to contact us!
