For the moment the numerous laser technology applications had been developed and implemented into different fields of industry the automotive and aerospace industries being among the first because of their most expansive, dynamic and fast accepting innovations nature. The applications of laser hole drilling, material cutting, welding, product marking and engraving as well as some mechanical material machining intensified with laser beam are discussed. The possibilities to increase the processing productivity and to imrove the product quality are demonstrated As invited paper this material had been presented at the International Conference “Global Automotive Laser Applications” in the framework of “International School of Quantum Electronics” held at Erice-Sicily (Italy) on 17 August 2001 and is given here with some modification.
