This document presents the first joint activity of the Sister Projects funded under the Horizon Europe topic “CL4-2024-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-03 – Manufacturing as a Service: Technologies for customised, flexible, and decentralised production on demand.”
\nThe brochure showcases the collaborative efforts of the five projects forming this cluster: MaaSAI, MEDUSA, Lasers4MaaS, UniMaaS, and REED, all working together to advance the Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) paradigm and drive Europe’s transition towards flexible, sustainable, and digitally enabled production ecosystems.

However, this approach faces a hurdle: the lack of comprehensive methodologies. The EU-funded Lasers4MaaS project is stepping in to change this. Building upon the advancement of dynamic laser beam shaping to an 'all-in-one' laser welding tool with immense potential for servitisation, Lasers4MaaS introduces a six-point strategy to reconfigure, connect, control, predict, improve, and ensure compliance in manufacturing. With demonstrations in sectors like automotive, aerospace, food packaging, and renewable energy, this project aligns closely with Green Deal goals. A consortium of academic and industrial partners will bridge technology readiness levels and advancing standardisation.
