In the automotive industry competition seems to grow year by year. Our costumers become more aware about areas such as traffic safety, environment protection and fuel consumption. Therefore they also put tougher demands on the product they are going to buy. In the last few years Japanese car manufacturers have shown great competitiveness in the fields of product reliability and product quality. This in the combination with the usage of new materials for the car body have made it necessary for Volvo Car Corporation to investigate and evaluate new productional tools. Here we agree with many of our competitors that laser technology have a potential regarding welding and cutting operations in manufacturing the car body. This report will deal with the engineering solutions, made possible by using laser technique, looked upon from the engineers point of view. It will also show examples of how a fruit-ful cooperation between engineering and manufacturing can increase and optimize the quality of the final product.
