Abstract

Summary form only given. The objective of the Precision Laser Machining Technology Reinvestment Project (PLM TRP) is to develop the next generation laser machine tools and advanced manufacturing processes for both commercial and military applications. This is a government-industry cost-share program sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to provide the most advanced and affordable U.S. military systems, and the most competitive commercial products in the global marketplace for the automotive, aircraft/aerospace, heavy equipment, and shipbuilding industries. To accomplish the objective a consortium of twenty organizations that represent industrial users, process developers, system integrators and technology developers has been established forming a user-driven, horizontally and vertically integrated team.
