The Problem

This innovation addresses a key sustainability or performance challenge.

Bio-inspired Nano-scale Surface Texture - Fusion Bionic Straight out of a science function, Fusion Bionic is opening a new door to new nano-scale surface textures.

Bio-inspired Nano-scale Surface Texture - Fusion Bionic Straight out of a science function, Fusion Bionic is opening a new door to new nano-scale surface textures. The right surface textures hold endless possibilities, from anti-icing textures for aviation, to medical products which are antibacterial (akin to the denticles of shark skin). Fusion Bionic creates laser-generated surface texture using their Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) machines.
