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 Project objectives SHARK aims to industrialise laser functional texturing by boosting the productivity, cost-effectiveness and flexibility of the process. Our objectives are: To significantly increase productivity and cost-effectiveness by reducing the time required for laser processing, inspection and product design and introduction; To develop a highly robust laser texturing system capable of producing different surface textures for specific functionalities, supported by modelling tool development and in-line inspection tools; To develop a scalable integrated digital platform with high data security; To demonstrate and commercially exploit laser surface texturing in the tooling, food and drink, medical and power generation sectors.
