"...This book is truly a monumental contribution to industrial laser materials processing. ...This very readable book covers everything in laser material processing. In addition to its thoroughness, it is loaded with pictures, illustrations and tables of data. The book is very complete - no need to go anywhere else - it's all there. If you have any questions about laser materials processing, you need this book...."

IEEE Circuits and Devices

"...Here at ILS inquires are received weekly from readers looking for a source of up-to-date information on laser materials processing. ... If you haven't gotten a copy of this 715-page book, featuring the combined knowledge of more than 170 experts, then don't bother calling anymore.

It's all there in an easy-to-follow format that takes readers from the basics of laser theory to tabulated values for processing parameters. And for good measure, there are chapters on systems safety and materials.

...Don't hesitate to buy it, even if you are a laser pro. It's packed with information even experts can use."

Industrial Laser Solutions

"...a chapter on rapid prototyping, edited by Terry Feeley, president of Laser Fare, Inc.'s Advanced Technology Group, is perhaps the best technical overview we're seen of such processes as steorolithography, selective laser sintering, laminated object manufacturing, CAM-LEM, laser-engineered net-shaping, and other direct metal processes. "

Rapid Prototyping Report

"I bought the LIA HANDBOOK OF LASER MATERIALS PROCESSING sight unseen. Have circulated it and have gotten some really great comments about how good and thorough and useful it is. ...I thought I would tell you of the positive remarks."
