Germany: Bavaria

Overview

Neue Materialien Fürth GmbH (NMF) is a national research center of the Bavarian State. We transform cutting-edge materials and manufacturing methods into industrial solutions. Our 3000 m² testing field is equipped with large-scaled industrial facilities. The scope of our work is not limited to research – we also manufacture prototypes and small batches. We focus advanced materials and manufacturing technologies in the fields of additive manufacturing, forming technologies for lightweight construction, polymer processing and casting technology. Within that framework we develop solutions for Augmented Reality, Blockchain and IoT.

Unique feature

The strong partnership with the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) combined with a long-lasting experience in developing new production techniques is a unique selling point.
