What does BST mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Beyond Surface Technologies (BST) is an innovative and advanced manufacturing process used to improve the overall performance of materials. This technology applies ultra-high power lasers to modify the surface of hard and soft materials, creating new and improved surfaces for a variety of applications.

BST can be used for a wide range of industries and products, from medical devices to aerospace components. It can also be used in electronics cooling or friction reduction in various engineered structures.

The laser beams generated by BST allow it to treat almost any material with precision equalization regardless of its mechanical properties. However, special attention should be given when dealing with temperature sensitive or combined material components as these may require additional precautions prior to laser treatment.

The duration required for BST depends on the size as well as complexity of the target material/component being processed under this technology. Typically, processing times range between 20 minutes up to 8 hours depending upon the nature and geometry characteristics involved in each case study application.

BST has been designed with consideration towards ecological balance utilizing energy efficient operations when compared with traditional manufacturing processes such as grinding or milling which often generate hazardous dust particles during production cycles that negatively effect air quality levels in industrial settings.
