AREAS OF APPLICATION TECHNOLOGICAL IMPACT
Fusion Bionic opens completely new possibilities The high-throughput manufacturing systems
for functionalized surfaces based on a unique laser offered by Fusion Bionic are compact, robust
interference texturing technology. This makes it pos- and up to 100 times faster than established
