Prototype system to manufacture laser-structured antimicrobial surfaces
This video (YouTube Apel Laser) shows a prototype system for laser texturing surfaces in order to give them properties that will reduce the likelihood that pathogens can be transferred between people using such surfaces. This prototype was developed by the project partner Apel Laser whose role in the ‘STOP’ project is both to develop laser…
