Abstract
Smart surfaces are a source of innovation in the 21st Century. Potential applications can be found in a wide range of fields where improved optical, mechanical or biological properties can enhance the functions of products. In the last years, a method called Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) has demonstrated to be capable of fabricating a wide range of periodic surface patterns even with resolution at the nanometer and sub-micrometerscales. This presentation describes recent advances of the DLIP method to process 2D and 3D parts. This includes the possibility to fabricate periodic arrays on metallic substrates with sub-micrometer resolution as well as different concepts to process three dimensional parts. Development of the DLIP technology will be exemplified by recent application examples.
