Consortium partners share preliminary findings in recent months
Multipoint project attracts attention in several photonics and micro-machining related activities.
Meet the experts: Emeric Biver
“How to do science and keep innovating, while changing the way we do things to reduce pollution and waste of energy and resources?”.
Meet the experts: Anne Henrottin
“I always have new domains to explore, to push a way further to develop new, or to optimize existing, processes or machines”.
EXPECTED IMPACTS
The development of Multipoint’s femtosecond laser system will improve the fabrication of HLFC (Hybrid Laminar Flow Control) structures and therefore, it will viable to apply them in the aerospace industry:
Reductions of at least 30% in the final cost in the fabrication of HLFC panels.
Less environmental impact due to the elimination of chemical post-processing procedures in the fabrication of HLFC panels.
Incrementation of the quality and performance of HLFC panels.
Fuel consumption reductions higher than 9% on commercial planes when HLFC panels applied.
