Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Wear performance of moving parts in mechanical watches is a critical concern in the watch industry. This project targets the shaping of complex 3D pieces for the watchmaking industry by an innovative UV assisted shaping process of an organic ceramic liquid precursor. The contact-free shaping by optical means, enables designs and dimensions that can't be obtained by traditional ceramic shaping techniques. Ceramic materials have improved wear performance compared to metals.
