The SONI-SHAPE-LASER Project
Revolutionising low-volume electric vehicle battery manufacturing
Revolutionising low-volume electric vehicle battery manufacturing
The shift to electrification for niche and low-volume vehicles faces unique challenges—cost, weight, and scalable battery design. The Soni-Shape-Laser project answers these needs by developing cutting-edge modular laser welding technology, specifically designed to optimise battery manufacturing. This innovative solution supports the industry's carbon-neutral goals, enhancing design flexibility and reducing production costs.
Key advancements include a shift to remote, wire-free welding for aluminium casings, ultrasonic technology integration, and advanced process modelling through digital twin technology. Backed by a consortium of industry leaders, Soni-Shape-Laser is paving the way for sustainable, competitive manufacturing in the UK.
