Thin Films for the physical and life sciences in high-technology applications.

R&D in nanotechnology and surface science has led PHASIS to the development of an innovative micro-engraving technology. After a first implementation on the renowned Geneva Hallmark, the technology has now evolved to provide a full digital seal. In partnership with the french OCODE, we offer an innovative digital hallmark that combines high-end surface metallurgy with state-of-the art blockchain and NFT technologies.

The physical and digital seal provides unbeatable authentification features, in particular for track-and-trace of valuable metallic objects (watchmaking, jewellery), but also for the medical industry or safety critical metal parts in general. A secured digital safe, unique for every code, can be used to store information of technical or commercial relevance, or even ‘memories’ of emotional value.

One key feature of the technology is the possibility to write metallic structures on the surface of different alloys. The implemented structures can therefore show very high wear resistance, and also decorative features.
