LaserFusion

Revolutionizing multi-material hybrid component manufacturing

Building on the foundation of TechnoFusion, Iskra ISD introduces LaserFusion, our cutting-edge technology for joining metals and polymers through micro-mechanical locking of polymers on laser microstructured metals. Launched in 2019 as part of an ambitious R&D project which later in 2022 expanded its scope with a publicly awarded tender, LaserFusion represents a significant leap forward in multi-material hybrid component manufacturing.

LaserFusion harnesses the precision and efficiency of laser technology to create lightweight, robust, and complex multi-material hybrid products. This innovative approach addresses key industry challenges by providing:

  • 1. COST-EFFECTIVENESS

    Automation, robotization, and digitalization of the laser structuring process lead to lower production costs and higher productivity. By streamlining workflows and minimizing human error, these advancements not only reduce operational expenses but also ensure consistent quality and precision in every output.

  • 2. CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION

    LaserFusion reduces the carbon footprint by producing lightweight, multi-material components with less material and energy. This process minimizes waste and emissions, supporting more sustainable manufacturing without cleaning chemicals or adhesives.

  • 3. VERSATILITY

    Capable of joining a wide range of metal materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, or brass with polymers such as PA, PBT, epoxy, and elastomers like TPE. LaserFusion provides a standard solution adaptable to various multi-material hybrid product designs with no additional adhesives.

  • 4. LEAKAGE TIGHTNESS

    LaserFusion technology can provide permanent leakage tightness by creating strong, precise bonds between materials, ensuring durable seals in multi-material components. This reliability is crucial for applications requiring high performance and leak prevention.

  • 5. CUSTOMIZABLE SOLUTIONS FOR SPECIFIC NEEDS

    LaserFusion offers fully customizable solutions, allowing manufacturers to tailor material combinations and processes to meet the unique requirements of each customer. This flexibility ensures that components are optimized for specific applications, enhancing performance and efficiency.
