About this report
A thin layer of ice on an airplane wing can undermine lift and safety, yet traditional de-icing relies on chemical fluids and heavy heating systems. In Dresden, a young company is quietly changing this paradigm with ultrafast laser technology.
Fusion Bionic GmbH, a 2021 spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute, uses lasers to etch microscopic patterns on surfaces that mimic natural marvels like lotus leaves and moth eyes. The result is technical surfaces that repel water, reduce friction, and even prevent ice buildup without added chemicals .
Key questions this report answers
- How does Fusion Bionic's ultrafast laser surface texturing create bio-inspired (lotus/moth-eye) surfaces that repel water and prevent ice without chemicals?
- What is the maturity of this Fraunhofer spin-off's de-icing technology and its fit with European aerospace/defence needs?
- What dual-use applications and partners could adopt its anti-icing, low-friction technical surfaces?
- What dependencies and gaps constrain scaling laser surface functionalization for defence platforms?
Who it's for
