QLAYERS IS DEVELOPING HARDWARE THAT CREATES MICROSTRUCTURES ON LARGE SURFACES
We enable automated coating of large structures, such as storage tanks, wind turbines and aircraft. Moreover, we can add microstructes to make each surface functional! We can operate anywhere at any time, while ensuring consistent and high-quality coating conditions.

Industrial surfaces are still coated manually. This has lots of downsides. The process is slow, toxic waste is produced and on site coating is often not possible.
|
Functional coatings created in lab environments are currently not implemented in the industry because industrial application methods cannot guarantee stable conditions.
|
|
Qlayers’ portable printing head allows for automatic coating which increases efficiency twicefold, creates a non-toxic work area and drastically reduces the costs of the coating process.
|
In the long term, Qlayers is able to bring functional coatings from lab to market. These coatings can be easily applied with Qlayers’ printing head.

Result
Applying functional coatings such as sharkskin microstructures can lower drag, lower fuel consumption and increase speed and overall performance of vehicles that experience drag. Other types of functional coatings can add more perks. Visit the technology section to learn more about Qlayers!
1. Clean Coating On-siteOur Slash100 will disrupt the current coating process by slashing the number of man-hours and coating-material needed, increasing the efficiency, safety and quality by offering a fully automated printing head. |

2. Printing microstructures
|
Our unique printing method allows to to apply innovative functional coatings in a controlled environment. This means that normal paints can be used to turn any surface into a multifunctional one. As an example, we can create a drag-reducing (sharkskin) microstructure in commercial coatings. Other possibilities are to make surfaces self-healing, anti-icing, self-cleaning and so on! |
