The project featured the Laser Castle laser safety cabin, specifically designed to house an advanced automated fibre placement robot used in composite prototyping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In collaboration with Automated Dynamics, the Laser Castle enclosure was engineered to meet the safety and operational needs of the facility. The enclosure measured 26 feet wide, 18 feet deep, and 11 feet high. It was equipped with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A&nbsp;laser Interlock Control System<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LED warning signage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High-definition CCTV System<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatic interlocked doors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The enclosure was built to contain the automated fiber placement robot from Automated Dynamics, which utilizes a high-power laser for localized heating\u2014an essential process in composite manufacturing. The Laser Castle ensured compliance with laser safety standards while supporting seamless operation of the robotic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEM and Advanced Manufacturing in Focus<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/STEM-AT-CPC-1024x314-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/STEM-AT-CPC-1024x314-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/STEM-AT-CPC-1024x314-1-300x92.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/STEM-AT-CPC-1024x314-1-768x236.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/STEM-AT-CPC-1024x314-1-600x184.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Composite Prototyping Center held a special event titled \u201cSTEM Is the Way to the Future\u201d to showcase advancements in technology and education. The event was attended by over 130 individuals, including local manufacturers, educators, business leaders, and elected officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York State Senate Majority Leader John J. Flanagan served as the keynote speaker and emphasised the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and workforce development. CPC Executive Director Leonard Poveromo acted as Master of Ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the event, guests were given tours of the CPC facility. A highlight of the tour was a live demonstration of the automated fiber placement robot secured within the Laser Castle \u2014 referred to by Mr. Poveromo as the \u201cJewel of the Center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Capabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fiber placement robot enclosed by the Laser Castle is capable of fabricating parts up to 120 inches in length and 48 inches in diameter. The equipment, funded with a NYSERDA grant, represents a high level of precision and innovation in composite part production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CPC\u2019s 25,000-square-foot facility supports full prototype manufacturing, hands-on technical training, and access to state-of-the-art systems and technologies. The center also provides research support, composite material evaluation, and design optimization services to help organizations succeed in advanced manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/CPC-LOGO-600x213-1-300x107.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9768\" style=\"width:auto;height:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/CPC-LOGO-600x213-1-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/CPC-LOGO-600x213-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/laser-safety-products-usa\/laser-castle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Lasermet-Castle-Logo-transpa-300x108.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9769\" style=\"width:auto;height:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Lasermet-Castle-Logo-transpa-300x108.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Lasermet-Castle-Logo-transpa-1024x370.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Lasermet-Castle-Logo-transpa-768x277.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Lasermet-Castle-Logo-transpa-1536x555.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Lasermet-Castle-Logo-transpa-scaled.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.lasermet.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Lasermet-Castle-Logo-transpa-600x217.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation of the Laser Castle at the Composite Prototyping Centre demonstrates the importance of integrating certified laser safety solutions into advanced manufacturing environments.
