Overview
LASEA is headquartered in Liege, Wallonia, and specializes in the design and manufacturing of industrial laser systems. The company's technology is applied in precision manufacturing contexts, including defense-related applications where laser cutting, marking, and drilling require high repeatability and reliability.
LASEA positions itself at the high-value end of laser system integration, combining optical engineering, software, and automation. The Wallonia region has historically supported laser and photonics industry development, and LASEA is among the notable companies in that cluster.

- Coupling light from a telescope into a single-mode fibre leaves very little room for error: the fibre core is only a few micrometres wide. Guillaume Brankart automated that alignment in his Master’s thesis at AMOS, after his Aerospace Engineering studies at University of Liège. He now brings this engineering background to a different question: what U.S. manufacturers need from femtosecond laser micromachining. He joins LASEA through the Explort+ programme of Wallonia Export & Investment Agency (AWEX), and will be based at our U.S.
- Last week at @𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐎 2026 in Denver, Eric Mottay, Member of the Board at LASEA and president of h-nu, presented the paper "Closed-Loop Control of Ablation Depth and Surface Roughness using Bayesian Optimization with In-Line Confocal Metrology", co-authored with Audrey Champion and David Bruneel, PhD Bruneel of LASEA. On SS316L stainless steel, with a femtosecond laser (<400 fs, 50 W), ablation depth (30 µm ±1 µm) and surface roughness (Sa ≤ 0.35 µm) were optimized simultaneously in 8 iterations.

- Avant-dernière journée à Micronora trade fair - Microtechnology & Precision pour les équipes du 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐀 (Laser Cheval, LASEA & Optec). Sur le 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 310, 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐂, aux côtés du Club Laser et Procédés : Thomas Rai, Mélissa GROS et Jean-Renaud DYCKE. Sur le ZOOM Aéro / Spatial / Défense : Pascal Durdu et David Bruneel, PhD. Le salon se termine demain! #Micronora2026 #MicroUsinageLaser #AeroSpatialDefense
- The right parameters exist. Finding them simply takes too long. AI can change that. The real challenge is producing the reliable process data it needs. At ICALEO 2026 in Denver (October 5–8), LASEA will present a new platform that addresses this directly. Eric Mottay will present it on stage. Date and session to be announced shortly. #ICALEO2026 #LaserProcessing #MachineLearning #The Laser Institute
- Merci au Club Laser et Procédés pour ce coup de projecteur ✨ Faire partie du CLP, c'est échanger avec des acteurs qui partagent les mêmes défis que nous. Et c'est souvent de ces échanges que naissent les meilleures solutions. Rendez-vous la semaine prochaine sur Association Micronora - Microtechniques et Précision!
