Organisation profile

The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Platform (AMMP) specializes in cutting-edge technologies related to thermoplastics, composites, resins, and adhesives. The centre is focused on the development of novel manufacturing processes and the application of advanced materials to create affordable solutions for a wide range of industries, from medicine to automotive and beyond.

At AMMP, our main interest lies in the development of high-performance thermoplastics and composite materials. These advanced materials are engineered to exhibit novel or enhanced properties that offer superior performance compared to conventional materials. By leveraging our expertise in polymer processing, 3D printing, mass customization, and hybrid manufacturing, we aim to create innovative solutions that address the challenges faced by industries today.

One of our core themes at AMMP is affordability. We believe that by creating products and devices that are less expensive, we can make them more accessible to the greatest number of people in society. This guiding principle shapes all of our research endeavours, and we are committed to developing solutions that are both effective and cost-efficient.
