SHARK is working to increase the industrial uptake of laser functional texturing
We are reducing the complexity and unknowns in the functional texturing process by developing a fully digitised knowledge management platform and an advanced end-user interface to enable industrialisation of the process.
The project will deliver:
- Cost savings: The capability to deliver surface functionalities into real products for less than 10% of the cost of the conventional part.
- Improved product performance: More than 20% improvement in product performance based on the surface functionalities deployed
- Faster product development
- A strengthened global position for European manufacturing
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for research and innovation under grant agreement no 768701
