Vector Photonics Leads £1.5M Consortium

GLASGOW, Scotland, Jan. 27, 2021 — Vector Photonics is leading the £1.5 million BLOODLINE project, an international consortium project developing PCSEL-based (photonic crystal surface-emitting laser) chips for 3D metal laser printing, funded by Innovate UK. According to a 2019 report from SmarTech Analysis, cited by Vector, the market is expected to reach $10 billion by 2025. The U.K.’s Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult will undertake chip reliability testing for the initiative, with two Japanese companies also participating — one a semiconductor manufacturer and the other an industrial equipment manufacturer — according to a press release from Vector.

additive manufacturing: Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing process that involves creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. This is in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve subtracting or forming materials to achieve the desired shape. In additive manufacturing, a digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and this digital model is then sliced into thin cross-sectional layers. The...
chip: 1. A localized fracture at the end of a cleaved optical fiber or on a glass surface. 2. An integrated circuit.
3d printing: 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), is a manufacturing process that builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model. This technology allows the creation of complex and customized structures that would be challenging or impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. The process typically involves the following key steps: Digital design: A three-dimensional digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This...
