The smooth finish of the metal machined bark in the process of making tooling and molds is a very laborious task if done by hand. However, the laser presented by the Fraunhofer Institute at the European industrial fair will make it a hundred times faster.

In fact, in molding, in plastic injection, the two molds must be smooth and close exactly without leaving room. The metal mold will also be separated from the plastic after each molding. This special laser melts a wide area of the metallic skin and sprays the microscopic points. In this way a perfect finish is achieved. It is indicated that you will soon be able to join the manufacturing process.
