CLASCO Innovations

Laser Optics for 3D Direct Laser Interference Patterning

The CLASCO project team is pleased to announce a significant technological advancement: the development of the innovative ELIPSYS® class optics for our Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) process part. ELIPSYS® stands for “Extended Laser Interference Patterning System” and allows for ultra-precise surface processing, in line with the goals of the consortium.

Technological Advancement: This advancement, realised by our consortium members SurFunction and TU Dresden, represents a key milestone in our journey to revolutionise sustainable manufacturing practices for many applications, such as in the BioMed and Aerospace industries.
Sustainable Innovation: We are committed to sustainable innovation. The ELIPSYS® optics have already demonstrated a remarkable depth of field, which is critical for the precise customisation of more complex shaped material surfaces, setting new industry standards for efficiency and environmental responsibility.
High Cost Effectiveness: This innovation in deep-tech laser optics features an impressive increase in production speed, efficiency and volume. This allows us to generate more robust functionalities and achieve very high cost-effectiveness.
One step closer to the CLASCO machine: This progress in the first phase of our project brings us closer to the completion of the CLASCO machine - a cornerstone in our quest to establish a fully laser-based, environmentally friendly manufacturing route for metallic components.
