A green innovation that won the CIMES Award
At the general meeting of the CIMES (Creating Integrated MEchanical Systems) competitiveness cluster operating in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes and Nouvelle Aquitaine regions, the GLACIER project was awarded the GREEN CIMES trophy for its compliance with environmental criteria.
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.
