Description

Ultrashort pulse laser for ultra-hard machine tools processing. This project aims to develop an advanced high-precision ultrashort pulse laser technique for shaping and sharpening cutting tools. It expects to generate new knowledge and new technology in machine tool fabrication using an innovative approach for processing ultra-hard materials. The expected outcome is progressive machining capabilities with higher throughput, significantly reduced production time and costs, and increased tool accuracy and life. This should provide significant economic and safety benefits for the advanced manufacturing industry, enabling production of high-performance products across cutting-edge industries including defence, aerospace, medical tools, automotive, and clean-energy technologies.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4014 - Manufacturing Engineering. Lead: A/Prof Ludovic Rapp
