LaserFusion - Revolutionizing multi-material hybrid component manufacturing

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
  2. CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION 
  3. VERSATILITY 
  4. LEAKAGE TIGHTNESS 
  5. CUSTOMIZABLE SOLUTIONS FOR SPECIFIC NEEDS LASERFUSION'S ADAPTABILITY IN METAL-POLYMER PAIRING

LaserFusion technology offers exceptional versatility in bonding metal-polymer combinations, creating multi-material hybrid components that meet the rigorous demands of not only the automotive sector, but others too. By carefully selecting metal-polymer pairs, manufacturers can optimize components for specific properties such as strength, conductivity, weight, and resistance to environmental factors.

PA / PBT / PPS / TPE / Epoxy - bonding with metals as Aluminium / Copper / Steel POLYMER - METAL use cases: - Structuring of copper pins to improve leakage tightness with the polymer matrix (eg. PBT, PPS or epoxy) - Structuring of steel or aluminium parts for direct moulding of sealings from rubber or TPE
