Our innovation projects ongoing
Discover the research and innovation projects led by IREPA LASER.
Project ENLIGHTEN
“European iNitiative for Low cost, Innovative & Green High Thrust Engine.” ENLIGHTEN develops next-generation technologies to reduce the cost of European rocket engines, combining additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence and innovative low-cost systems. IREPA LASER contributes to the project through its expertise in laser metal additive manufacturing, particularly in the development and optimisation of material deposition processes (DED).
Project ENLIGHTEN-ED
The EU-funded ENLIGHTEN-ED project aims to develop reusable rocket engines to strengthen the competitiveness of the European space sector. By combining additive manufacturing, AI and low-cost technologies, it plans demonstrations of innovative engines by 2026, with a green liquid hydrogen engine as a key objective for Europe’s future in space.
Project RESTORE
RESTORE develops sustainable remanufacturing solutions combining laser DED additive manufacturing, recycled materials, automation and digital tools to extend the service life of industrial components.
Project SCAFOLD
The SCAFOLD project is developing new high-performance laser drilling solutions to improve process precision and productivity. IREPA LASER brings its expertise in micromachining and femtosecond laser processes to this project.
