APPOLO concept

focuses on emerging innovative laser technologies and processes, which need to be customised, tested and validated :

Customized – service of application labs for trials;Tested – experiments at variable conditions;Validated – reliability and process quality assessment in the close-to-manufacturing environment.

exploits the unique combination of distributed knowledge in academic application labs, equipment producers, system integrators and end-users

to enable the development of innovative processes, products and machineries for industrial laser material processing applications.

seeks to establish and coordinate the Hub of laser application laboratories to provide the high-quality integrated services.

Goal of the APPOLO project

establish and coordinate connections between the end-users, which have demand on laser technologies for (micro)fabrication;knowledge accumulated in the application laboratories of research institutes and universities;the laser equipment manufacturers (preferable SMEs: for integration, lasers, beam control and guiding, software, etc.),

&facilitate

faster validation of the process feasibilityadaptation or customization of the technology & equipment for manufacturing conditions, including:

reliability of components;their interaction; assessment of the dedicated production processes;process speed, quality and repeatability;economics issues.

EuRoC in a Nutshell

● The project proposes to launch three industry‐relevant challenges aimed at sharpening the focus of European manufacturing through a number of application experiments, while adopting an innovative approach which ensures benchmarking and performance evaluation

● Within an open call framework, three stages of increasing complexity and financial support for competing teams will level the playing field for new contestants, attract new developers and new end users toward customisable robot applications, and provide sustainable solutions for future challenges
