LAMpAS is developing laser structuring technology capable of producing nature-inspired functionalised surfaces on an industrial scale
The system enables process stability monitoring in laser structuring to create functionalised surfaces such as easy to clean finishes for home appliances
The full value chain including components manufacturers, system integrators and end-users will discuss how to optimise the laser-based cutting process
Selected solutions will become part of a 13-month support programme and be offered a full set of technical and business mentoring services
A new, efficient networking event for the photonics industry due to take place for the first time on 17-18 February 2021

Surface treatment via ultrafast lasers could lead to home appliances that remain clean for longer periods of time
Applications of ultrafast, high-power lasers can be found in different fields, such as micromaterial processing and surface texturing. In this meeting, the needs of the system integrators towards the supply chain concerning new optics and mechanics for beam transport, laser sources and monitoring systems to obtain high-throughput will be presented and innovative applications fields of the technology will be discussed.
