Trumpf will be holding their annual In Tech 2001 Open House event at their premises in Luton on 14th, 15th, 16th, 19th, 20th and 21st March.
The goal of the exhibit, which is supported by the Federal Ministry of Research and leading German companies, is to promote the top levels of research in Germany and to give the general public a closer look into the fascinating world of science.
The exhibit module from Trumpf and the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung, created specifically for Brussels, will demonstrate to visitors just how large the impact of laser technology is on everyday life.
In addition to practical examples from the areas of sheet metal processing, medical technology and electronics, the module will explain the principles of laser technology and present outstanding research and development results achieved by the prize winners of the Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis.
Included in the demonstrations will be new interactions between light and matter, the use of lasers in microprocessing and lung operations, as well as a new microscopy process for studying life processes within living cells.
Like the other modules in the 'Science Tunnel', the contribution from Trumpf and the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung will offer an exciting glimpse into the world of science.
With extensive background information on the Internet at www.sciencetunnel.de, the exhibit is also an attractive resource for students.
The 'Science Tunnel' shows what science is currently working on - from searching for the smallest particles of matter and researching the basics of life and thought, to comprehending the universe.
Innovative exhibits demonstrate what 'leading-edge' research around the world is currently focusing on, how fields of science are interrelated and how they will influence our lives.
Trumpf is a high technology group with main focus on production and medical technology.
The nonprofit Berthold Leibinger Stiftung (foundation - Ed) was founded in 1992 through the private initiative of Prof Berthold Leibinger.
Since 2000, it has awarded the Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis biannually and since 2006 has awarded the Berthold Leibinger Zukunftspreis (futures-prize - Ed) for outstanding research and development in the application or generation of laser light.
