What?: forgot to mention that there are frickin LASERS involved!

My plan for the excursion would be (If you are interested in anything in particular, don't hesitate to ask, the plan is just an idea):
It is a machine which builds solid metal objects from powder. This is done by depositing a thin layer of powder and then melting it according to the part geometry with a LASER beam.
 
My job there is to create a system for monitoring the powder deposition and the melted layers of powder.
 
The plan for the excursion would be (If you are interested in anything in particular, don't hesitate to ask, the plan is just a suggestion):
* Introduction to build process
* Introduction to build process
* Visiting the machine while it's building something
