SYNTECS brings together a consortium of industry leaders and academic and research organisations that are at the forefront of laser based processing. SYNTECS is designed to tackle the multiple challenges experienced with current chemical and mechanical surface treatments. The overall aim of SYNTECS is to develop and demonstrate a digital and green laser texturing approach to generating complex multifunctional surfaces. A machine platform will be developed (TRL6), that enables interchangeable Direct Laser Writing (DLW), Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) and Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structuring (LIPSS), with a multi-axis motion stage for processing complex geometries and an inline monitoring and control system. The combined system will streamline the generation of hierarchical surface textures, i.e. textures which combine at least two significantly different sized features. The surface multi-functionality enabled by these hierarchical textures will be demonstrated in three industrial case studies: an injection moulding tool, a hip implant system and a complex shaped vapour chamber. Surface textures and texturing processes for these demonstrators will be designed using a Design for Surface Engineering software module, which will incorporate LCA guidance combined with predictive performance modelling to enable sustainable-by-design decision making. SYNTECS will demonstrate that hierarchical laser surface texturing provides a highly efficient and flexible route to replacing multiple (typically chemical and mechanical) energy and resources intensive surface treatments steps with a single, digitally controlled, chemical- and waste-free process.

SYNTECS汇集了一个行业领导者和学术和研究组织的联盟，这些组织处于激光加工的最前沿。SYNTECS旨在应对当前化学和机械表面处理所面临的多重挑战。SYNTECS的总体目标是开发和展示一种数字和绿色激光纹理化方法，以生成复杂的多功能表面。将开发一个机器平台（TRL6），可实现可互换的直接激光写入（DLW），直接激光干涉图案化（DLIP）和激光诱导周期性表面结构化（LIPSS），具有用于处理复杂几何形状的多轴运动平台和在线监测和控制系统。该组合系统将简化分层表面纹理的生成，即联合收割机组合至少两个显著不同尺寸特征的纹理。这些分层纹理所实现的表面多功能性将在三个工业案例研究中得到证明：注塑工具，髋关节植入系统和复杂形状的蒸汽室。这些演示器的表面纹理和纹理工艺将使用表面工程设计软件模块进行设计，该模块将结合LCA指导和预测性能建模，以实现可持续的设计决策。SYNTECS将证明，分层激光表面纹理加工提供了一种高效灵活的途径，可以用单一的、数字控制的、无化学和无废物的工艺取代多个（通常是化学和机械）能源和资源密集型表面处理步骤。
