Current Research Projects
3D-Mintegration - The design and manufacture of 3D miniaturised integrated products
A major EPSRC Grand Challenge research grant is funding the development of radically new micro and nano manufacturing capabilities.
A new production process that enables the creation of metallic components using a supersonic metal powder stream that is energised by a 1kW high power diode laser stack. This project builds on the earlier work carried out in the Cold Gas Dynamic Manufacturing project.
Using biological ideas to combine information, energy and material at the molecular scale for mainstream technology. Techniques include laser patterning, FIB, protein engineering, fluorescent microscopy, TEM, SEM and AFM.
The Centre for Industrial Photonics is part of the Integrated Knowledge Centre for Ultra Precision Structures and Surfaces (UPS2), in collaboration with Cranfield University, University College London and Optic Technicum.
Laser surface modification is a revolutionary new materials processing technology being developed in collaboration with TWI. The process enables
the production of features from the substrate material, increasing the
surface area.
This project investigates novel Laser sources for a variety of material processing applications. The work is done in collaboration with SPI Lasers and the Optoelectronics Research Centre in Southampton
