Climate Neutral and Digitalized Laser Based Surface Functionalization of Parts with Complex Geometry
Promoter: European Union research and innovation programme (Horizon 2020) Grant agreement No: 101091373 Current time: 01.01.2023 - 30.06.2026
Abstract
Fully digitalised laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) methods are so versatile they can be implemented in different industries. Compared to conventional manufacturing, AM is more energy efficient and produces less waste. However, these parts require additional surface treatments, which can be energy- and material-consuming, increasing costs and harming the environment. In this context, the EU-funded CLASCO project will develop a universal and digitalised laser-based post-process route for creating functionalised AM parts with complex shapes. While the complex parts will be produced by laser powder bed fusion, laser polishing and laser surface micro-structuring using direct laser interference patterning will be combined in a unique manufacturing system.
