THE INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
THAT MAKE INNOVATION POSSIBLE
Advanced material innovation is supported by an integrated system infrastructure of analysis, validation and enabling technologies.
Advanced material analysis is a core component of our research system
Techniques such as X-ray tomography, DSC calorimetry, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), impact testing with an impact tower, dynamometer testing, and dimensional inspection using Large Scale ScanBox are employed to validate, refine and optimize every stage of the process. These capabilities support continuous development and validation, ensuring informed decision-making and system-level control throughout the research and industrialization phases.
Large-scale 3D inspection as a strategic research capability
Our large-format scanning system enables the precise digitalization and dimensional verification of complex, full-scale components, even at very large sizes. This capability—available to only a limited number of operators due to the scale and complexity of the equipment—allows us to directly correlate design intent, manufacturing processes and final geometry, ensuring exceptional accuracy, consistency and control throughout development and production.
Advanced Tomographic inspection provides non-destructive insight into internal structures
By visualizing material behavior, internal features and defects at full scale, tomography supports validation, correlation and continuous refinement across development and production phases.
Controlled-temperature testing is embedded within our validation framework
By accelerating environmental conditions over time, the climate chamber allows us to evaluate material behavior, stability and performance evolution, compressing long-term effects into controlled and repeatable testing cycles.
Tooling is developed
as part of the
research system
Designed and manufactured in-house, these tools are tailored to each component, enabling complex geometries and exacting tolerances that standard moulding methods cannot achieve. By integrating tooling development directly into the research and production workflow, we ensure performance, repeatability and quality across all advanced material solutions.
Our large-scale foundry develops complex industrial moulds
Through advanced sacrificial-core processes and controlled casting, it enables the realization of intricate internal geometries and full-scale components, supporting experimentation, validation and production within a single environment.
High-precision machining at large scale is fully integrated into our system infrastructure
This capability allows us to refine complex parts, tools and components with extreme accuracy, ensuring dimensional control, repeatability and alignment between design intent and final execution.
Proprietary materials developed in-house, as part of our integrated research system
Our team creates and optimizes new materials within the same ecosystem that supports tooling, additive manufacturing, and inspection. This internal development ensures full control over composition, performance, and process integration, enabling innovative solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Additive manufacturing extends the boundaries of our research system
By producing precise prototypes, preforms and tools directly from digital designs, additive manufacturing enables the exploration of complex geometries and accelerates development. Its seamless integration within the research and production workflow enhances flexibility, efficiency and design freedom across advanced material solutions.
WASHOUT PRINTING
Washout printing allows us to create intricate internal structures and sacrificial cores with precision. Embedded within the research ecosystem, this technique opens up design possibilities that were previously unattainable, supporting the production of complex, high-performance components.
WAAM
WAAM enables the creation of robust metal parts directly from digital designs, bridging prototyping and production.By supporting rapid iteration and custom geometries, it accelerates development while ensuring accuracy and structural integrity.
