This article has a twofold purpose. The first part deals with introduction of innovative high technology laser engineered net shaping (LENS) that offers a breakthrough in manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing products. It also presents many possibilities for the use of LENS technology, especially in the tool-making industry and for medical purposes. The second part presents a comparison of a product manufactured by conventional technologies and the same product manufactured by LENS technology. The product is a titanium alloy medical implant.
