Recently, SCANLAB, a German manufacturer of high-quality laser scanning systems, announced that the company is committed to expanding its company building in Puchheim, Germany, to support the company's continuous growth and increase its production capacity. It is reported that the expanded factory covers an area of about 18700 square meters.

SCANLAB said that the existing company building in the west of Munich was undergoing the fourth phase of expansion and construction had started in the last week of September. In addition to using tested and tested groundwater heat exchangers to cool buildings, heat pump systems will also be used for heating. The new part of the building will also be equipped with photovoltaic system, which will cover most of the future power demand. The integrated green roof ensures that the extension is seamlessly integrated into the stepped building complex. In addition, the building will also be equipped with a solar power generation system to provide sufficient electric energy for employees' electric vehicle charging piles and surrounding electric bicycle points. Such a powerful design can help it save the gas boiler used in peak demand.

At present, the current economic situation and the long-term bottleneck of parts supply pose a huge challenge to the daily operation of most high-tech companies. SCANLAB has also felt this impact in many areas of its production process. Nevertheless, the company is still trying to increase its turnover and the number of employees, and expanding its production capacity and office space has become a key link.

In February this year, SCANLAB and Pulsar Photonics, a well-known multi beam scanning enterprise, officially signed a cooperation agreement to develop and sell more integrated laser scanning systems. The agreement will also enable SCANLAB to provide a series of beam shaping systems and other customized solutions. SCANLAB said that the ultra short pulse laser application (USP) market continued to grow, and the most important challenge involved improving the capacity of mass production. The company believes that the laser technology of multi beam system will help overcome this challenge.

On October 17, SCANLAB announced the joint development and design of high-speed polygon scanner unit with Technische Universitat Dresden to generate periodic surface patterns by using the interference principle. The scanner equipment is completed under the framework of the LAMpAS project funded by the European Union. By combining multiple lasers, users can manipulate and control the intensity distribution of laser energy, resulting in a size of about 3.5 μ M, which is 8 times smaller than the size of traditional polygon scanner.

SCANLAB believes that building a company building with more complete facilities and conditions will help improve the overall efficiency, so as to better achieve these goals. SCANLAB predicts that by March 2024, the company will build a new space of about 6500 square meters, with a total floor area of about 18700 square meters. In addition to the design layout of the workplace with sufficient sunlight, the renovated and expanded office building will also arrange a large amount of space for the construction of a new laser laboratory and the expansion of clean room production.
