Laser-based surface modification and patterning methods

CAMP explores laser-based surface modification and patterning methods. Driven by current trends in laser-based micro processing, the Center targets opportunities and challenges in the development of new system, process and measurement solutions. To transfer technologies into industrial processes, the researchers implemented every operation of the entire process chain. CAMP demonstrates cross-operational approaches from simulation via laser process and optical measurements to machine learning. In these endeavors, scientists at the Fraunhofer IWS, in cooperation with the TU Dresden, focus on various applications of laser micro processing and measuring operations. The Center deploys a wide range of current technologies, with numerous applications, such as micro drilling, micro cutting and patterning, as well as laser marking and laser interference patterning.
