The OPeraTIC project took center stage at this year’s ICALEO conference, with Paul Froemel from Photonic Tools presenting the latest advancements from the initiative. The key highlights from the presentations were:
- Introduction to OPeraTIC: Paul Froemel outlined the project’s goals and its cutting-edge demonstrator, developed in collaboration with leading partners.
- Breakthrough Technology Demonstration: Together with Technische Universität Dresden, OPeraTIC showcased specialized optical fibers designed to carry powerful, precise laser beams. This innovation enables the creation of microscopic surface patterns, with applications in industries like automotive and aerospace.
- Why It Matters: These innovative fibers maintain laser precision and power over long distances, making them ideal for industrial applications. The resulting surface structures improve material adhesion, durability, and sustainability, opening new possibilities for large-scale manufacturing.
The ICALEO conference provided an invaluable platform to connect with researchers, engineers, and industry leaders, fostering discussions that drive the future of laser technology. Technische Universität Dresden and the OPeraTIC team thank the ICALEO community for this opportunity to share their work and explore collaborative innovations in advanced manufacturing.
