FIBLAS 'Sviluppo e applicazioni di laser a fibra ottica' - An Italian Ministry Project
Fiblas has been taking Quanta System to the development of 500 W average power fibre based lasers, with mega watt peak power.
By products of the Fiblas project will be fibre lasers at lower power, as well.
Most of the industrial laser based systems, starting 2010 on, will be based on fibre lasers and the success of Quanta in this project is a strategic step to make a stronger leap into this scenario.
Participants:
- Quanta System SPA
- Centro Laser (Bari)
- RTM SPA (coordinator)
- Università di Bari
InART - A European Craft Project
Innovative Laser Based System and Technology for "in situ" Cleaning of Painting Artworks
InART is a European Research Project (CRAFT) lasting two years, from 2006 up to 2008 with several goals:
- The development of a new mobile and flexible laser system to be used "in situ" for the cleaning of paintings, supported by diagnostic and control instruments
- The study of the optimal conditions, constrains and limits for the laser cleaning for painted surfaces at different wavelengths (ranging from UV to IR), as a function of the materials, the techniques used and the deposits to be selectively removed.
- The comparative study between laser cleaning and traditional cleaning methods
Participants are spread across Europe. Among these there are many primary research institutes, companies producing state of the art fine arts conservation laser devices and restorers with long lasting experience:
- Instituto de Soldadura e Qualidade (Portugal)
- RTM Spa (Italy)
- Signinum - Gestão de Património Cultural, Ltd. (Portugal)
- Danart, Ltd. (Rumania)
- Bresciani materiali ed attrezzature per restauri S.r.l. (Italy)
- Nicola Restauri S.r.l. (Italia)
- Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno (Spain)
- Estudios Métodos de la Restauración (Spain)
- Quanta System S.p.A. (Italy)
- National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics (Rumania)
- Asociación Industrial de Óptica, Color e Imagen (Spain)
- RTM S.p.A. - Istituto per le Ricerche di Tecnologia Meccanica e per l'Automazione - Italy
