Laser technology is a constant companion to the increasingly common hot stamping process, a primary application being the trimming of hardened parts. But there is an array of laser applications in the process chain of hot stamping, which is maturing and developing in new directions as OEMs exploit its potential to save weight and increase safety in cars. This trend includes the tailoring of part properties. Laser technology is well positioned to enable this trend, or else provide alternatives in the manufacturing process.
