Soni-Shape-Laser Open Day 2026
Discover the Future of Aluminium Battery Case Welding for EV Manufacturing
Join industry leaders, researchers, and manufacturers at the University of Warwick to explore ground-breaking advances in laser welding technology that are transforming low-volume electric vehicle battery production. Learn how the Soni-Shape-Laser project is combining ultrasonic excitation and advanced beam shaping to improve the performance, quality, and manufacturability of aluminium battery enclosures.
Attendees will hear presentations from project partners including Carrs Welding Technologies, PowerPhotonic, IONETIC and WMG, covering the latest developments in aluminium welding, beam-shaping technologies, battery pack manufacturing and advanced joining processes. The programme also includes live demonstrations, laboratory tours and opportunities to network with experts from across the aluminium, automotive and advanced manufacturing sectors.
The event is particularly relevant for organisations involved in aluminium extrusion, battery systems, lightweight vehicle structures and next-generation manufacturing technologies, offering valuable insight into emerging solutions for sustainable and competitive UK EV production.
