Welcome to SLPC2026

The 6th Smart Laser Processing Conference 2026
April 21-23, 2026, Yokohama, Japan

Organized by Japan Laser Processing Society (JLPS)

Co-organized by Joining and Welding Research Institute, The University of Osaka, Japan
Co-located with OPIC2026 -OPTICS ＆ PHOTONICS International Congress 2026 （April 20-24, 2026, Organized by OPI Council)

Venue: Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama, Japan

AIM AND SCOPE

Laser beam processing has played an important role in industrial fields of not only macro-products but also micro-products, and its technologies are essential to open the new strategies of smart manufacturing such as highly integrated, accurate, efficient processing with low energy consumption.

SLPC2026 deals with science and technology of smart laser materials processing including micro and macro laser processing. SLPC2026 is planned as a three-day event with a plenary session, oral sessions and poster session.

The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for discussion of fundamental aspects of laser-matter interaction, the state-of-the-art of smart laser processing, and topics for the next generation with fundamental scientists, end users and laser manufacturers.

We expect that SLPC2026 would play an important role not only for understanding fundamental knowledge of laser processing but also forecasting future technologies and the future laser processing fields.

During the SLPC2026 conference, OPTICS & PHOTONICS International Congress 2026 (OPIC2026) will be held jointly at the same venue. SLPC2026 attendees can join the other conferences of OPIC2026 free of charge since SLPC2026 is one of the conferences of OPIC2026.
