The industrial laser was a piece of equipment, owned by Auric Goldfinger, that used a laser to cut materials at his metallurgical and engineering plant in Switzerland. Typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, Goldfinger had the equipment shipped to America for his planned raid on Fort Knox. The iconic laser first appeared in EON Productions' 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger and was later re-imagined for the video-games GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004) and 007 Legends (2012).
