Mr. David Havrilla (Trumpf) “Design principles for laser welding”
David has earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the
University of Michigan. His post graduate experience includes a one year assignment at
Imperial College in England, investigating the viability of laser cladding die components.
David has been involved with industrial lasers for over 28 years. He has worked as a Project
Manager of laser systems, a Senior Product Support Engineer and Product Manager for high power CO 2
and solid state lasers. David has been with TRUMPF for more than 10 years and in his current position,
he is the Manager of the Products & Applications group.
Mr. Dennis Decker (Trumpf) “Advancements and trends in laser microprocessing”
Dennis earned his diploma thesis in Physical Technology from the University of Muenster
Germany. During his time at the University, he developed innovative new processes for
welding plastic with high power diode lasers. Dennis has worked for TRUMPF for more
than five years. He has experience with many different types of lasers including: low power
solid state marking lasers (TruMark), high power diode laser (TruDiode) for welding and brazing and
ultra-fast short pulse lasers (TruMicro series). For the last three years, he has worked exclusively with
