What we do

SITEC explores and develops laser-based manufacturing processes tailored to both industrial needs and research-driven innovation, covering concept design, process tuning, and consecutive monitoring and control.

Process development

Conventional laser-based manufacturing processes as well as innovating novel process concepts in service of the industry.

Process diagnostic, monitoring and control

Sensors and methods for a better comprehension of the processes, quality insurance, and online process control.

Modelling and simulation

Numerical, analytical, and statistical tools for process comprehension, development, and optimization.

System development

From research grade systems for proof-of-concept and to identification of system specifications for industrialization.

Product development

Conventional laser-based manufacturing processes as well as the innovation of novel concepts to address emerging applications and future technological needs.
