APPOLO PROJECT - Hub of Application Laboratories for Equipment Assessment in Laser Based Manufacturing
Duration of the Maier's subproject "DECOUL-Cr": September 2015 - February 2016
Description:
The APPOLO project, which encompasses different sub-projects (
http://www.appolo-fp7.eu/.), seeks to establish and coordinate connections between the end-users which have demand on laser technologies for (micro) fabrication, the knowledge accumulated in the application laboratories of the research institutes and universities, and the laser equipment manufacturers.
Core of the consortium consists of laser application laboratories around Europe which are connected into a virtual hub to accumulate knowledge and infrastructure and promote the easy-to-access environment for development and validation of laser-based technologies.
MAIER, S.COOP is the coordinator of the sub-project "DECOUL-Cr" New Ultrafast Laser equipment for decorative finishing in automotive Chrome plated parts with the participation os LASING, S.A and Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. DECOUL-Cr addresses the assessment of new equipment, to find optimal solution for high added value laser texturing with ultrafast laser for the atomotive market.
