Laser projectors

For Production, Working and Processing of Composites.

Industrial Laser Projection Systems By LAP

LAP provides laser projection systems for true-to-scale alignment and positioning of objects during the production and processing of parts made from composite materials. These industrial laser projector solutions are widely used across modern manufacturing environments where accurate positioning and assembly are essential to efficient production processes.

The use of laser projection systems by LAP and the know-how provided with them accelerate all positioning procedures during the production and processing of composite parts. Step by step, your process is visualised directly on the surface of your workpiece. By projecting digital outlines and assembly guidance directly onto the work surface, operators can clearly identify positioning points and component locations without relying on physical templates.

You prevent errors and increase the quality of your products while supporting consistent quality assurance across complex production lines.

Get a competitive edge by using laser technology

LAP laser projection systems let you reach a competitive edge by optimising production processes. Modern laser projectors act as a digital guide for assembly and positioning tasks, improving accuracy while reducing manual measurement during fabrication and machining operations.

For positioning tasks, you can replace physical templates, measurement procedures or permanent consulting of manuals by showing outlines, positions and information on the surface of your workpiece. Projection data can be generated from CAD models and integrated into existing control systems, allowing projectors to support automated production lines and connected manufacturing environments.

Independent of task, material and product, you will work faster, more flexibly, and cleaner as only laser light touches the surface of your tool or object. Because the laser projection system uses a precise light source rather than physical contact, sensitive materials and composite surfaces remain protected throughout the assembly process.

Benefits of Using Our Laser Projection Systems

Clean

During manual layup, your personnel are wearing gloves to prevent dirt between layers that may cause air pockets and reduce the stability of the final product. Laser lines have no contact with the sensitive surface, and they leave neither marks nor residue. Our projectors are also used in clean rooms. Because the projection system generates digital templates using a precise green laser light source, the workpiece surface remains completely untouched during assembly operations.

Versatile

Laser projection systems replace the complete workflow around physical templates and measuring specifications: no production, no storage, no transport, no change management. Eliminating physical templates also reduces material costs and simplifies change management across production processes. If the shape or position of cutouts changes, you only need to update the related projection file. Engineering updates can be implemented instantly through software without interrupting the production line.

Scalable

Laser projectors can be used singly or in groups. Large areas can be covered by several projectors and managed as one or several work groups. Multiple laser projectors can be connected and controlled through one workstation or control system, allowing large assemblies and complex shapes to be displayed across wide surfaces with consistent accuracy. For curved surfaces, the projectors can be placed opposite to each other, as well for concave as for convex shapes.

Multitasking

LAP laser systems are the only ones on the market supporting real multitasking. Several teams may work independently on large projection areas. You may work on several changing tools in one defined projection area separately. This flexibility enables operators to manage multiple assembly processes simultaneously while maintaining clear projection guidance for each component.

Quick

Our DTEC-PRO camera system further reduces the time for calibration on recognised tools: rather than you manually capturing the reflecting targets, an IR flash illuminates the reflectors and the camera provides the positions for the projector. Instead of several minutes of manual calibration, the camera-projector combination deals with it in a few seconds. Fast calibration ensures that laser projection systems maintain positioning accuracy and reliability across demanding production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are laser projection systems used for in manufacturing?
Laser projection systems are used to display digital outlines, shapes and positioning guides directly onto a work surface during manufacturing and assembly processes. By projecting information from a CAD model onto the workpiece, laser projectors help operators accurately position components without relying on physical templates or manual measurement. These industrial laser projection systems are widely used across the aerospace industry, composites manufacturing, automotive production lines and technical textiles, where high precision and repeatable positioning are essential for maintaining product quality.
How do industrial laser projectors improve production processes?
Industrial laser projectors improve production processes by visually guiding operators through complex assembly tasks using precise laser projection. Instead of measuring or referencing printed drawings, laser projection systems display outlines, part positions and instructions directly onto the surface of the object being assembled. This reduces errors, shortens setup times and allows manufacturers to adapt quickly to design changes by updating the projection file within the software or control system.
Can laser projection systems replace physical templates in assembly processes?
Yes, laser projection systems can fully replace physical templates in many assembly and fabrication environments. Laser projectors create virtual templates by projecting shapes, patterns and reference points directly onto the workpiece surface. This eliminates the need to manufacture, store and transport physical templates, helping companies reduce costs while improving positioning accuracy and flexibility in their production line.
Which industries benefit most from laser projection technology?
Laser projection technology is widely used across industries where accurate positioning and complex assemblies are required. The aerospace industry relies on laser projection systems for composite layup and fastener positioning, while automotive manufacturers use laser projectors for assembly guidance and welding preparation. Other sectors such as technical textiles, insulation, woodworking and composites fabrication also benefit from laser projection because it improves efficiency, reduces errors and supports consistent quality assurance.
How accurate are modern laser projection systems?
Modern laser projection systems provide very high positioning accuracy, often achieving sub-millimetre precision when projecting outlines or assembly points onto a surface. This level of accuracy allows operators to place components exactly where they are required during the assembly process. With proper calibration and integration into a production control system, laser projectors maintain consistent accuracy across complex surfaces, curved shapes and large workpieces while supporting reliable quality inspection during manufacturing.
