The Manutech USD platform is the first European platform dedicated to femtosecond laser technology for industrial applications. Located in Saint-Étienne, it offers advanced technology for engraving, cutting, and surface functionalization with micrometric precision and minimal thermal impact. This technology allows for material transformation while respecting the environment, thanks to low energy consumption and treatment without chemical additives.
Technologies and Applications
Manutech USD harnesses the power of femtosecond laser technology to offer a range of services:
- Engraving and Marking
Creation of patterns on material surfaces with high precision. - Cutting
Precise cutting of various materials (metals, wood, plastics) with limited thermal effects. - Surface Functionalization
Modification of material properties to improve adhesion, friction, or add characteristics such as self-cleaning and conductivity.
An Environment Conducive to Industrial Transfer
In partnership with public and private stakeholders, Manutech USD facilitates the transfer of its laser technologies to concrete industrial applications. It provides an optimal framework for research and development projects, working closely with Mines Saint-Étienne and other academic partners.
