39 LISI - 2024 Integrated Report The LISI-µ MACH ASSEMBLY PROCESS®, a mechanical assembly method combining laser micro-machining and additive manufacturing, is opening new market opportunities. In 2024, the teams at LISI AUTOMOTIVE focused on applications related to the cold spray projection aspect of this breakthrough innovation. This process was utilized to metallize specific surfaces, delivering better results than traditional laser welding. It presents promising opportunities for applications involving electrical connections, such as metallizing connection zones on battery cells. A co-development program was initiated with a European battery manufacturer, and the first connections were produced at the Delle site (located in the Territoire of Belfort). This site handles cold spray metallization, cleaning, and packaging operations. The initial production series targets an annual volume of 150,000 parts. #AUTOMOTIVE #PROCESS for LISI-µ MACH ASSEMBLY PROCESS® New applications Customer Application Development A faster response to our customers’ needs A new unit was established in 2024 within the R&D department of LISI AEROSPACE. Named Customer Application Development, its mission is to strengthen technical proximity with the Group’s clients and accelerate response times for specific needs. Composed of LISI engineers specialized in fasteners and working closely with aircraft manufacturer teams, the CAD unit bridges the gap between fasteners and their application in service. It provides tailored solutions and rapidly develops specific concepts. Several products resulting from this work have already been added to the product range. #AEROSPACE #PROCESS The Cold Spray metallization process opens up interesting possibilities for everything related to electrical connections”.
