In: SPIE Photonics Europe, 2024, 7-12 April, 2024, Strasbourg, France.

Laser nanotechnologies have enormous potential for bringing products with new surface functionalities to market, while meeting sustainable development objectives. However, SMEs and start-ups are not benefiting fully from these technologies because of their cost and the necessary access to testing and validation infrastructures. The Horizon 2020-funded NewSkin project has thus created an Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) focused on surface nanotechnologies to overcome these challenges. It provides access to scale-up and testing facilities to enhance surface properties in different relevant sectors. Regarding laser nanotechnologies, NewSkin provides access to different laser up-scaling facilities that integrate innovative manufacturing processes, including surface texturing, roll-to-roll femtosecond laser texturing, heat-treatment laser, multimodal laser processing. Several companies and research organisations have benefited from these technologies to improve surface functionalities such as wettability properties, improved heat exchange, friction reduction, wear resistance. The creation of NewSkin AISBL will further accelerate the uptake of innovative laser processes to manufacture new nanoenabled products.
