The research project aims to explore the use of high-power lasers in the manufacturing of hardwood flooring. The project’s industrial partner, Boa-Franc, is the North American leader in prefinished hardwood floors. The company must constantly innovate to stay ahead of the competition, as a significant portion of its sales comes from recent products. The success of this project will help maintain a high level of exports as well as the 400 jobs within the company.
