SurFunction: New technology platform for laser surface functionalization
SurFunction presented its new Elipsys technology platform at Blechexpo 2023, which is based on the award-winning DLIP (Direct Laser Interference Patterning) technology. The potential applications lie in the production and functionalization of material surfaces
SurFunction's Elipsys platform is characterized by an impressive increase in speed and efficiency (up to 1000-fold), an increase in volume, flexibility and tolerance (up to 100-fold) and many other advantages. This enables SurFunction to present a new class of DLIP, generate extended surface functionalities and achieve very high cost-effectiveness for users. Elipsys stands for "Extended Laser Interference Patterning System" and not only opens up new fields of application, but also offers the integration of AI-controlled models, other complementary technologies, increased use of robotics, as well as the industrialization of femtosecond laser systems for ultra-precise surface processing.
"Our Elipsys technology represents a new milestone in surface technology. It offers comprehensive access to new precision and speed with extreme tolerance. This opens up a new class of industrial opportunities and a wide range of options for sustainable surfaces. We are proud to already be able to integrate the patented technology into the first systems and demonstrate its performance in practice," said Dr. Dominik Britz, Managing Director of SurFunction. The new technology will be gradually introduced to the market over the coming months.
