                        ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                            TO BE HELD MAY 13, 1997

                       --------------------------------



                                 SOLICITATION



     This Proxy Statement and accompanying form of proxy are being mailed to
stockholders commencing on or about April 21, 1997 in connection with the
solicitation by the Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board")
of Lasertechnics, Inc. (the "Company") of proxies from the holders of the
following securities of the Company:



     (i) Voting common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock");

     (ii) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value ("Series A
Preferred Stock");

     (iii)  Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value ("Series B
Preferred Stock"); and

     (iv) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value ("Series C
Preferred Stock," collectively with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock" and, the Preferred Stock collectively
with the Common Stock, the "Stock").

     Such proxies are to be used at the annual meeting of stockholders of the
Company (the "Meeting") to be held at the Hotel Intercontinental New York, 111
East 48th Street, New York, New York, on May 13, 1997 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern
Daylight Time, as set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the "Notice") and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set
forth in the Notice.  Management is not currently aware of any matters other
than those referenced in this Proxy Statement that will be presented for action
at the Meeting.


                         RECORD DATE AND VOTING STOCK

     Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 25, 1997 will
be entitled to vote on matters presented at the Meeting or any adjournment
thereof.

     As of March 31, 1997, there were issued and outstanding 40,731,004 shares
of Common Stock and 2,918,715 shares of Preferred Stock.  The holders of a
majority of the outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock, entitled to vote
on the matters specified in the Notice at the Meeting, present in person or
represented by proxy, voting collectively as a single class, constitutes a
quorum for the Meeting and for action on such matters.  Under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date, and the Certificates of
Designation of the Preferred Stock, each share of Common Stock and each share of
Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each matter presented
at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.  Under the Certificate of Designation
for the Company's Series D Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Series D Preferred Stock") and the terms of the Company's Non-Voting Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Non-Voting Common Stock"), holders of
Series D Preferred Stock are not entitled to notice of the Meeting and holders
of Series D Preferred Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock are not entitled to vote
on the matters brought before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

                                      -2-

     In the election of directors, stockholders are not entitled to cumulate
their votes and are not entitled to vote for a greater number of persons that
the number of nominees named in the Proxy Statement.

     Votes are counted, and the count is certified, by an inspector of
elections.

     For purposes of determining whether a proposal has received a majority
vote, abstentions will be included in the vote totals, with the result that an
abstention will have the same effect as a negative vote for all proposals other
than the election of directors.  If a broker indicates that it is prohibited
from exercising discretionary authority with respect to shares held of record by
such broker, including shares held for beneficial holders that have not returned
proxies (so-called "broker non-votes"), those shares will not be included in the
vote totals and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote with
respect to that matter.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will, however, be
treated as present for quorum purposes and may be entitled to vote on other
matters.

     All duly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted in
accordance with the choices specified thereon.  As to any matter for which no
choice has been specified in a duly executed proxy, the shares of stock
represented thereby will be voted (i) FOR the election as directors of the
nominees listed herein, (ii) FOR approval of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the
Company's independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 1997, and (iii)
in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy in connection with any other
business that may properly come before the Meeting.  A stockholder giving a
proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Meeting by filing with
the Corporate Secretary an instrument revoking it, by delivering a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date or by appearing at the Meeting and voting in person.

     The Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1996 has
been mailed to each stockholder entitled to vote at the Meeting on or before the
date of mailing this Proxy Statement.  The Annual Report is not a part of the
proxy solicitation material.

     The cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form will be borne by
the Company.  In addition to solicitations by mail, regular employees of the
Company may solicit proxies in person or by telephone.  The Company will also
reimburse brokers or other persons holding Stock in their names or in the names
of their nominees for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy material to
beneficial owners of Stock.

Compensation of Directors

     Non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive an annual fee
of $10,000 for preparing for and attending meetings of directors and committees.
In addition to a one-time initial grant of an option to purchase 50,000 shares
of Common Stock on the date each director is first appointed or elected to the
Board of Directors, each non-employee director also receives an automatic grant
of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock (under the Company's Non-
Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan) annually while continuing to serve on the
Board of Directors. While directors do not receive additional compensation for
attending meetings, the Company will pay ordinary and necessary out-of-pocket
expenses for directors to attend Board and committee meetings. Directors who are
officers or employees of the Company receive no fees for service on the Board or
committees thereof. Directors who serve on the Board of Directors of Sandia or
LMC are not separately or additionally compensated for such service.

     In addition to his $10,000 annual compensation as a director of the
Company, Mr. Paulekas receives an annual fee of $50,000 for his services as the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of LMC. The annual compensation and stock
option grants earned by Mr. Kiss for his service as a non-employee director of
the Company are payable to JPMIC, Mr. Kiss' employer. Mr. Kiss is JPMIC's
designee to the Board of Directors.

Employment Contracts with Executive Officers

     Sandia and Jean-Pierre Arnaudo are parties to an employment agreement,
which provides for a term of employment of Mr. Arnaudo through August 31, 2002
at a minimum annual base salary of $160,000, subject to increase by the Board of
Directors of Sandia. The agreement also provides for the payment to Mr. Arnaudo
of up to one times his annual salary in the event he is terminated after a
change in control (as defined in the employment agreement) of Sandia or if he is
terminated without cause at the election of the Board of Directors of Sandia.
The employment agreement also contains confidentiality and non-competition
provisions.

Transactions with Management and Related Parties

     During 1995 and 1996 the Company received consulting services from director
nominee Alfred E. Paulekas relating to the Company's manufacturing and
production operations and from Theodore F. Patlovich, a director during 1995,
relating to the Company's international marketing efforts.  Both individuals
were paid at the rate of $500 per day and the aggregate total compensation paid
to both individuals in 1995 was $17,750.  In 1996 Mr. Patlovich did not provide
any consulting services to the Company and Mr. Paulekas became Chairman of the
LMC Board of Directors and was paid a total of $15,000 per quarter (an aggregate
of $10,000 per year for his services as a director of the Company and an
aggregate of $50,000 per year for his services as the Chairman of the LMC Board
of Directors) for his services to the Company.  The Company has complete
discretion over whether or not to use the consulting services of either Mr.
Patlovich or Mr. Paulekas.

     Between February and September 15, 1995 Wolfensohn loaned the Company a
total of $6,900,000 primarily to provide interim financing for the expanding
international imaging business of Sandia. The Company's indebtedness to
Wolfensohn was evidenced by a series of demand promissory notes providing a 12%
per annum interest rate and a maximum term of one year. Wolfensohn also received
in the loan transactions 5 year warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase a total of
534,105 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $1.01 per share to $1.76
per share. Wolfensohn is a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and
Series C Preferred Stock. All such series of preferred stock are convertible
into Common Stock. Mr. Morgan, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, is a General
Partner of Wolfensohn Partners, L.P., the Managing General Partner of
Wolfensohn.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
     On May 10, 1995, Wolfensohn and JPMIC converted $1,000,000 and $2,093,000,
respectively, of the Company's short-term indebtedness to such companies into
Common Stock at a conversion price of $.95 per share for the purpose of
satisfying certain Nasdaq SmallCap Market minimum net capital requirements.
This conversion resulted in the issuance of an aggregate 1,872,158 shares of
Non-Voting Common Stock and 1,383,632 shares of Common Stock to JPMIC and
Wolfensohn, respectively.  JPMIC is a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company.  Mr. Kiss is a Vice President of JPMCC,
an affiliate of JPMIC and serves on the Board as JPMIC's designee.

     In order for the Company to maintain the minimum net capital required for
its continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market during the last half of
1995, on three separate occasions Wolfensohn converted a total principal amount
of $3,210,000 of debt held by Wolfensohn into Preferred Stock. In each case
Wolfensohn received shares of a separate series of Preferred Stock. All shares
of Preferred Stock received by Wolfensohn are convertible into Common Stock on a
one share for one share basis pursuant to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation.

     The following table sets forth the basic terms of these three debt
conversions by Wolfensohn.

_________

*Includes $259,879 of accrued interest on the Wolfensohn debt.

     Each series of Preferred Stock ranks prior to the Common Stock for dividend
distribution and liquidation purposes. The stated value of each series of
Preferred Stock is the same as the conversion price reflected in the table
above.  Cumulative dividends are payable on the stated value per share of each
such series of Preferred Stock, at the rate of 10% per annum.  All such shares
of each of the foregoing series of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as if
converted into Common Stock except upon matters as to which such Preferred Stock
is entitled by law to vote as a separate class.

     In addition, on December 15, 1995 Wolfensohn exercised certain Warrants it
had received from the Company as partial consideration for the short-term loans
made by Wolfensohn to the Company. Wolfensohn exercised the Warrants for the
purchase of 534,105 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$690,000. The purchase price was paid by the cancellation of $690,000 in
aggregate principal amount of certain promissory notes of the Company held by
Wolfensohn, as permitted in the Warrants. In addition, on December 27, 1995,
Wolfensohn and a related party purchased from the Company a total of 397,351
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.51 per share for
an aggregate purchase price of $600,000.

     From the net proceeds of the Company's sale of $7,000,000 of convertible
debentures in October of 1995, $2,000,000 was used to repay a portion of the
Company's debt to Wolfensohn.  As a result of the foregoing transactions the
Company either paid off or converted into equity, by the end of 1995, all of the
outstanding indebtedness of the Company to Wolfensohn and JPMIC, respectively,
plus accrued interest thereon.



                   MATTERS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE MEETING

                      PROPOSAL 1.  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS



     Eight persons currently serve on the Board and are expected to continue to
serve until the Meeting. Unless contrary instructions are set forth in the
proxy, it is intended that the persons named in the proxy will vote all shares
of Stock represented by the proxy for the election as directors of Messrs. Jean-
Pierre Arnaudo, Eugene A. Bourque, Richard M.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
Clarke, Paul J. Coleman, Jr., C. Seth Cunningham, Robert E. Kiss, Richard C.E.
Morgan and Alfred E. Paulekas, all of whom are presently members of the Board of
Directors of the Company. The eight directors elected at the Meeting will each
serve for a term expiring on the date of the annual meeting in 1998. Directors
of the Company are elected annually and hold office until their successors have
been elected and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal. Should any
nominee become unavailable for election, the Board of Directors of the Company
may designate another nominee, in which case the persons acting under duly
executed proxies will vote for the election of the replacement nominee, although
management is not aware of any circumstances likely to render any nominee
unavailable for election. Election of directors will be by a plurality of the
votes cast. A stockholder may, in the manner set forth in the enclosed proxy
card, instruct the proxy holder not to vote that stockholder's shares of Stock
for one or more of the named nominees. The proxies solicited hereby cannot be
voted for a number of persons greater than the number of nominees named herein.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date, does not
permit cumulative voting. A plurality of the votes of the holders of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Company
represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present may elect directors.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS URGES YOU TO VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR
DIRECTOR SET FORTH ABOVE.


        PROPOSAL 2.  RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     The Board of Directors has approved and recommends the appointment of KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, certified public accountants to serve as independent auditors
for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997. Approval of the
appointment of the accountants is being sought in order to give stockholders the
opportunity to express their opinion on the matter. approval will require the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Stock represented
and entitled to vote at the Meeting. Should approval not be obtained, the Board
of Directors would expect to reconsider the appointment.

     Members of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP are expected to attend the Meeting and, if
present, be available to answer appropriate questions which may be asked by
stockholders.  Such members will also have an opportunity to make a statement at
the Meeting if they desire to do so.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS URGES YOU TO VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF KPMG
PEAT MARWICK LLP AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE COMPANY.


                      DEADLINE FOR STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

     Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the Company's 1998
annual meeting, and otherwise eligible, must be received by the Company no later
than January 14, 1998 to be included in the Company's proxy material and form of
proxy relating to that Meeting. The mailing address of the Company for
submission of any such proposal is given on the first page of this Proxy
Statement.

                                    GENERAL

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

     Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, directors,
certain officers and beneficial owners of 10% or more of the Company's Common
Stock are required from time to time to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") reports on Forms 3, 4 or 5, relating principally
to transactions in Company securities by such persons. Based solely upon a
review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 submitted to the Company during and with respect to
1996, and written representations received by the Company from certain reporting
persons that no Forms 5 were required from such persons, the Company believes
that all of the directors and executive officers of the Company have timely
filed their respective Forms 3, 4 or 5 required by Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act during 1996.
