Surface functionalisation

Surface functionalisation makes your parts more attractive and optimises existing surface properties or adds new ones. The aim of functionalisation is to enhance the performance of a surface by giving it new functions (self-cleaning, reduced wear, decoration, permanent lubrication, …). It is also known as 3D laser surface texturing.

3D laser surface texturing

Surface functionalisation is a process used in many fields to machine or structure materials by laser: the automotive industry, medical, watchmaking, defence… As it can be applied to all types of materials (metal, glass, polymers, composites, ceramics, etc …), it opens up a wealth of possibilities. Moreover, this laser treatment is carried out without any contact or tools, making the texturing process reliable, robust, flexible and free of consumables.

Laser surface texturing makes it possible to control friction, wettability and adhesion of materials, the optical and sensory perception of surfaces, etc…
