The FLASH project aims to revolutionize manufacturing by leveraging future-proof, highly customizable and energy-efficient laser-based production systems to achieve highly precise photon distribution, with applications in cutting, drilling, welding, cladding, and micro-machining.
The FLASH project lies in its ability to provide agility, speed, cost-effectiveness, material flexibility, and energy savings compared to
existing technologies.
Develop a single laser module integrating three laser sources and three beam delivery heads, allowing multi-wavelength emission, broad pulse length regime, and dynamic beam shaping.
