GLAss Cutting and Removaluses femtosecond lasers to cut glass andremove thin layers from optical glass. This is a frugal process, reducing the energy consumption of the process, and is part of a 4R approach, reducing glass waste during cutting.
This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to greener, more efficient technologies. We would like to express our gratitude to our partners: Université Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne, MANUTECH USD and VISIOSHAPE, for their invaluable collaboration and expertise.
We would also like to thank our financial backers: the French government, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and Saint-Étienne Métropole, without whom this project would not have been possible. Thanks to their support, we can continue to innovate for a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly future.
