Creating the future one layer at a time.

Providing expert commercial research and development services for companies looking to push the boundaries of Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing.

Understanding our expertise

Our industry-leading knowledge, Additive Manufacturing expertise and wide range of specialist equipment mean that we can assist with any project and develop the technology needed to help it succeed.

Discuss your Project

Process Development

New techniques and materials require new approaches and processes. We can re-imagine and re-engineer hardware and processes to develop tailored industrial solutions that can be integrated into your manufacturing environments to make Additive Manufacturing work for you.
Material Development

Materials are at the heart of all new technology, so it’s crucial to perfect your material first. Whether you need high-performance alloys for the aerospace industry, biological and pharmaceutical materials, or something completely different, we can help.
Design & Software solutions

We can help you exploit the freedoms of Additive Manufacturing to develop next-generation software and tools to improve and optimise the design of your products, using a variety of automated tools and custom-built software.
Training & Strategy

We can provide training in Additive Manufacturing, preparing you for the future of this constantly evolving industry. We provide training in a way that suits you, from webinars to on-site training and live demonstrations of the latest equipment in our laboratory.

Working in partnership

Our clients are at the heart of every project. That’s why we’re happy to accommodate any specific needs you might have, including intellectual property ownership and non-disclosure agreements.

Clear approach to Intellectual Property Ownership

We understand how important IP is to our customers. From the outset of a project, we are transparent about the ownership of any IP developed through our research.
Strict non-disclosure agreements

We work with global companies on highly strategic and confidential projects. We will never publish or share any research created through client projects without permission.

Unlocking the potential of Additive Manufacturing

Our core philosophy is to bring together cutting-edge science and engineering research to create bespoke Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing solutions for companies interested in implementing this disruptive technology.
