**3. Conclusions and Outlook**

Topics such as various types of laser processing, including additive manufacturing, ablation, polishing, and micromachining, are covered by this Special Issue, presenting recent developments and achievements in the laser processing of traditional and the most-advanced metal-based materials. However, it should be noted that there are still many issues related to transferring some of the most outstanding ideas to applications in real production conditions. The Guest Editors of the Special Issue hope that the most outstanding results will contribute to and accelerate the switch to the sixth technological paradigm in the near future.
