The University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) investigated the use of femtosecond laser processing methods for the athermal processing of Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC) and advanced coating systems using lasers up to 100W in both 1030nm and 15W in 343nm wavelengths. Results of work including Composite Laser Ablation Surface Preparation (CLASP), laser peel-ply scoring, coating manipulation/removal, will be presented. Practical implementation progress, including robotic integration and handheld implementation of these technologies, will also be reviewed. Finally, the broader impacts of advanced/femtosecond laser technologies for manufacturing across the DoD will also be considered.
