ModuLase Final Event was held today May 21st.
We had the morning full of interesting information shared by the project partners, speakers of the event.
ModuLase consortium developed a processing head covering welding, cladding and cutting.
The system comprises of a monitoring unit, on board intelligent algorithms for setting the optical configuration and to help the user in the selection of process parameters. Adaptable optical elements capable of delivering a wide range of laser beam energy distributions, suitable for welding, cutting and cladding applications.
All the presentations of the event are available for download here.
ModuLase internal training Session was hosted today, on-line, by EWF (but the preparation for this session was supported by all!).
All partners participated and it was a good opportunity to transfer knowledge and experiences!
It is good to see the benefits of a consortium with expertise at all different levels!
ModuLase is reaching its end in May this year, interested in joining the final event (21-05)?

This three-year project is now running for 2 years, and the last developments were fine-tuned during its 24th month meeting that took place in September (Cambridge, UK), hosted by the project coordinator, TWI.
The focus of the meeting was on topics such as dissemination, exploitation, training and communication, the assembly and testing of the ModuLase process head, the system and software integration as well as the setup of pilot facilities in industrial environment. Regarding exploitation, commercialisation and marketing/dissemination, a discussion involving all the consortium partners was carried out in order to agree on the actions that needs to be accomplished to have the final Business Plan, considering the objective of having the ModuLase products ready to be sold right after the end of the project.
Additionally, the rest of the topics were addressed with setting deadlines and actions needed to integrate their outcomes.
The ModuLase consortium will gather in a new project meeting at the beginning of March 2019 in Turim, Italy. The meeting will be hosted by the Italian partner, CRF.

On May 24th the Modulase consortium participated in the first review meeting of the project, hosted at European Commissionâs Research Executive Agency in Brussels. The purpose of the meeting was to review the first 18 months of the project and discuss feedback on the research activities carried out during this period.
The Modulase project partners gave presentations on the work and accomplishments of their teams, and the evaluators provided valuable and insightful comments on the progress of the project and potential ways to improve it. Innovative aspects presented the work, the results and the achievements obtained at the moment. The consortium partners thanked the reviewers for the thoughtful comments and enthusiastic feedback, and the meeting was concluded on a positive note and with encouragement to continue the work.

ModuLase Month 18 meeting took place at AIMEN Laser Applications Centre, in Pontevedra, on the 27th and 28th of February.
The first day of the meeting was dedicated to making an update on the signs of progress achieved since the last meeting and also to coordination, financial and contractual matters.
Besides the signs of progress, also the plans for the next six months were presented by each work package leader.
At the end of the first day, the partnership received a tour of the Aimen facilities and also a demonstration of the MODULASE cladding application that has been developed by AIMEN was made.
Day two was reserved for technical discussions on the work packages and also for the exploitation.

ModuLase is at month 12 from 36, and it is amazing the amount of work our consortium have developed by now! During the meeting (September, 12-13), we have reviewed the work done since our last meeting. The three top parts of the project were discussed: the end-effector design and manufacture, the beam forming unit and the Quality assurance system and how the three will come together. We are already focusing our attention also on the business plan, a core part of the project regarding exploitation.

MODULASE 6th month meeting took place at ULO Optics facilities, in Stevenage (UK), on the 28th February and 1st of March, where all the partners were present.
During the first day of the meeting a review of actions from the previous meeting was made. Every partner prepared a presentation of their involvement in the project, the work carried out during the first six months, actions to be implement and work distribution.
In the second day, the topics covered all the technical discussions needed, regarding work packages (WP) 1 to 4.
By far the project development goes as planned and the next meeting was scheduled to take place in Portugal, during September 2017.

Between 15th and 16th of November the kick off meeting of the project took place in Cambridge, UK and it was organised by the project coordinator, TWI.
Each of the partners gave a presentation covering their background, contribution to and expected role in the project.
Topics such as the project management and overview (objectives, approach and concept) were on the agenda. During this first project meeting the plan of actions for the next 6th months was established for all work packages.
The next meeting is scheduled for 28th of February and 1st of March 2017 and it will be organized by ULO Optics.
ModuLase will encompass all stages of the process chain and provide additional flexibility, cost reduction and execution speed without compromising the overall quality, hence providing a better overall performance. By providing the groundwork for a more thorough utilization of laser-based manufacturing, ModuLase will provide a critical tool for the Factories of the Future public-private partnership which sets a vision and outlines routes on its 2014-2020 roadmap towards high added value manufacturing technologies. As result of this vision, the factories of the future will be clean, highly performing, environmental friendly and socially sustainable.
Technology and knowledge transfer are one paramount issue that will also be part of the project, facilitating the collaboration with EU SMEs and large industries, and enabling the rapid deployment and commercialisation of the new technology.
The ModuLase project has received funding from the European Unionâs Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. H2020âFoF-2016- 723945-ModuLase. The project is an initiative of the Photonics and Factories of the Future Public Private Partnershipsâ
Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe's global competitiveness.
