Long before anyone talked about  manufacturing or Industry 4.0, laser systems were up and running in factories. Laser technology has been digital from the beginning because it can only be controlled digitally-you can almost say that data-based manufacturing has been integrated into its DNA. Today many production planners have found that they already have experience with a highly mature industrial tool, which is the perfect choice to meet the new requirements. "When laser experts heard about Industry 4.0, they just made big strides. "For others, it feels like a revolution. This revolution has four key actions going on simultaneously:

1.The manufacturing chain using lasers is entering, and the manufacturing chain using mechanical tools is exiting.

2.The workpiece itself is becoming a data carrier with communication capabilities.
3.Parts can change shape with each group of different data.
4.The part is made entirely from the data set.
