Challenge

From architecture to aerospace, from clean energy to semiconductors: Innovation starts with better materials. High-performance coatings of glass enhance energy efficiency in buildings and advanced alloys extend the lifespan of critical components. Innovation stalls when materials become the bottleneck.

Advanced applications require tailored material solutions.

Our customers are technology leaders who drive innovation. Materials are an integral part of their products. Finding the right material solution while developing superior products is a challenging task. Internal R&D teams are focused on key projects with limited capacity for material development.

Trial and error is expensive: Conventional material development is complex and infrastructure is limited.

Time lost is opportunity lost: Timelines are tight. Every delay risks losing a competitive edge.

Simulations require validation: Material ideas may perform in simulations but fail in application settings.

Our Solutions

1. Material Screening – Finding optimum materials: Our customers receive curated results from our data-driven screening that integrates experimental design, sample preparation and characterization in a streamlined workflow.

2. Accelerated Material Prototyping – Providing prototype samples: Data generated under laboratory conditions is an ideal starting point for optimization, but the validation must take place under application conditions. We create coatings of almost any possible alloy both on flat and structured substrates. 

3. Coating Solutions – Production scaled to your demand: Once a material solution has been validated, the next step is the production at the scale your application requires. We collaborate with trusted manufacturing partners to deliver custom-coated materials for pilot-scale testing or industrial implementation.

Accelerated time to market: Find the right material in a fraction of the time without years of costly trial and error.

Application-oriented development: We go beyond theoretical predictions. Our material solutions are experimentally refined to perform under application conditions.

Material Screening

Finding Optimum Materials

You define the application requirements and we run specialized experiments to optimize materials and build a dedicated materials database.

Our benchmarking provides experimental data, allowing you to compare material candidates. This supports informed decision-making and helps to focus resources on the most promising solutions.
