Work in progress: Smart Micromachining
The European ADALAM project aims to develop a sensor-based adaptive micromachining system for zero-failure manufacturing, based on ultrashort-pulse laser ablation and a novel depth measurement sensor, together with advanced data analysis software and automated system calibration routines. The technology developed will generate new solutions for manufacturing of high-quality and innovative products, such as adaptive micromilling of 2.5D structures, defect detection and removal, and texturing of complex tool features. Miniaturisation, advanced highperformance materials and functional surface structures are all drivers […]
