New laser-textured metal surface 🛡️ inspired by the lotus plant 🌱and developed by TresClean Project offers self-cleaning properties and prevents bacterial adhesion 🦠 #EUresearch #Metal #SelfCleaning #Antibacterial ➡️ bit.ly/TresClean

Come along and meet the TresClean Project team!

The Hiperdias and TresClean Project booth is set up and ready to go! You can find them in Hall A2 Booth 146. LASER World of PHOTONICS #LASER19 #photonics #H2020

Don't forget to come along to the Laser Materials Processing Forum at LASER World of PHOTONICS @ 12:00 today to catch the TresClean Project presentation! #laser19 #photonics

The TresClean Project project coordinators, Università di Parma, have published a scientific article in the Surface and Coatings Technology journal titled "Modelling the interaction between bacterial cells and laser-textured surfaces". Check it out here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our Partners have been busy The University of Stuttgart IFSW have structured the surface of the injection mould (provided by our partner BSH) with a line like periodic structure by means of the Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) method (1 of 5)BSH Group Uni Stuttgart

The picture shows the Injection mould after DLIP Treatment. Process was done with a structuring rate of 416 mm2/s onto an area of about 280 x 520 mm2. The DLIP optics used can be seen in the top right. The period of the structure is 855 nm. (2 of 5) #photonics #lasers

This process was done with a structuring rate of 416 mm2/s (considering only the laser on time) onto an area of about 145,600 mm2 (280 x 520 mm2), 1000 x 500 mm2 are possible with the current system. The mould has a weight of about 500 kg. (3 of 5) Uni Stuttgart BSH Group

The used laser source is the TresClean ThinDisk Multipass Amplifier (TDMPA) with 8 picoseconds pulse duration & an average power of up to 1 kW at 300kHz repetition rate developed & built by University of Stuttgart IFSW. (4 of 5) #antimicrobial BSH Group Uni Stuttgart

This periodic structure will then be transferred to the inner surface of the plastic water tanks after the injection process. (5 of 5) #lasers #photonics #antimicrobial #texturation tresclean.eu

The @trescleaneu team met at Ecor International SpA in Schio this week, to discuss the results achieved so far, and what will be done in the last 6 months of our Project. #photonics #laser

Have a look at what one of our partners Class 4 Laser Professionals AG have been doing on the HIPERDIAS Project. Fine cutting of Metals with Brass and Steel. #photonics #laser #highthroughput #H2020

The HIPERDIAS Project is finished!!! 🎊🎉 Watch this space for our results and major achievements. @UniStgt_IFSW Class 4 Laser Professionals AG Amplitude GLOphotonics SAS @unilim Modus R&I De Beers LASEA BoschGlobal Alyssa Photonics21

Look at what our partners BSH & Ecor International SpA have been doing with Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) of 855 nm periodic structures on a surface of a 400 kg injection mould, and on the outer surface of a 1-inch stainless steel tube, both at the IFSW (Uni Stuttgart).
