PanzerGlass er markedsledende indenfor skærmbeskyttelse til mobile enheder. Mens traditionel skærmbeskyttelse fremstilles af hærdet glas, udgør udviklingen indenfor kurvede og foldbare skærme en stigende udfordring. PanzerGlass ønsker at udvikle en ny klasse af stærk, fleksibel og transparent skærmbeskyttelse samt nye metoder til mekanisk test og evaluering. Projektet udføres af en ph.d.-studerende i samarbejde med Aalborg Universitet, som har ekspertise indenfor glas, mekanik og polymerer.

FLIP solves widespread, major challenges in the production of sheet and tube metal parts, namely: the absence of cheap and fast tools for prototyping and producing small quantities of complex and free-form parts, difficulties in meeting customers’ design requirements, lack of cost-efficient local manufacturing and scrapping of components due to variance in sheet metal. These are recurring issues among the project's 6 end-users which hinder competitiveness and waste resources. FLIP uses lasers to shape metal into products which is a paradigm shift applicable to the Danish market with 1000 sheet metal fabrication places [1] and as an export success to a vast international market. The FLIP technology is fast, flexible, automated, has a low footprint, and does not require moulds. The technology was demonstrated in a previous IFD project, INTERLASE. Research in process modelling, beam shaping, and vision-based process control must be conducted to move FLIP to TRL 9 to finalise the novel technology. The five system integrators in FLIP’s consortium are partners who have the expertise, network in the field to develop, manufacture and bring this revolutionary product to the end-users and the global market. A creation of +950 Danish jobs is expected after 10 years from end-users becoming more competitive and system integrators developing, manufacturing, and selling the FLIP system. The FLIP system has a potential market value estimated at +1,000 mill. DKK.
