Textulaser, beyond reality

The CARATS network of the Instituts Carnot embodies French scientific excellence in the service of the exceptional craftsmanship and know-how of Fashion & Luxury.

In Strasbourg, the experts, engineers and researchers at IREPA LASER sculpt matter. Our innovative and unique laser technologies, combined with our fundamental knowledge of materials, open up an infinite field of possibilities.

What is our secret?

First of all, mastery of two lasers, nanosecond and femtosecond, to enhance materials.

And then the talent of our engineers, to:

• Tame light and create colour effects ranging from deep black to full iridescence,
• Print colour markings without additives,
• Micro-weld precious materials and micro-cut rare materials without altering them,
• Play with reliefs, machine them and polish them.

Every subtle interplay of matter is possible…

From matter to mind, IREPA LASER and CARATS create a mise en abyme of the ideas and creations of Fashion and Luxury by reinventing the mirror and the reflection.
