Welcome to OPeraTIC
Boosting the Use of Ultra-Short-Pulsed Lasers in the Manufacturing Industry
The EU-funded project OPeraTIC running October 2022 until December 2026 advances the development of an ultra-short-pulsed laser (USPL) system to make surface treatment faster, smarter, and more sustainable. Combining high-power laser technology with Artificial Intelligence and real-time monitoring, OPeraTIC aims to deliver a modular, plug-and-play system for 3D surface processing in large-scale industrial applications. The system is being tested across four use cases in the home appliances, lighting, aeronautics, and automotive sectors. It is developed by 16 partners across Europe.

Green Manufacturing Use-Case Validation
With around half a year remaining, OPeraTIC has moved from concept validation to concrete, use‑case‑driven industrial groundwork. A comprehensive laser process database has been created,

AI-Enabled Smart & Green Manufacturing
With half a year to go until the end of OPeraTIC, the project has reached a mature and highly impactful stage. OPeraTIC has developed AI
