Leer ons kennen
ScaleDEM is het resultaat van een samenwerking tussen universiteiten die onderzoek doet naar industriële poederbehandelingsprocessen.
Wij bieden onze klanten een op maat gemaakt poedersimulatie-instrument om hun processen die korrelige materialen manipuleren te verbeteren. Onze prioriteit is het bieden van een wendbare en eerlijke service gericht op de specifieke behoeften van de klant. ScaleDEM biedt u alleen wat u nodig heeft.
Niet meer, niet minder.
Onze hoofdkantoor
Het Instituut voor Keramische Technologie (ITC) is gebaseerd op de overeenkomst tussen de Universitat Jaume I van Castellón (UJI) en de Vereniging voor Onderzoek in de Keramische Industrie (AICE). Deze sterke universiteit-bedrijfscoöperatie stelt ITC in staat om te reageren op de behoeften van bedrijven binnen de industriële keramiekcluster met als doel hun strategische positionering in de internationale keramieksector te verbeteren.
De onderzoeksgroep Mechanica van Materialen en Constructies (MMS) behoort tot de Afdeling Materialen, Textiel en Chemische Techniek (MaTCh) aan Universiteit Gent (UGent). De UGent-MMS groep richt zich op gecombineerd experimenteel-computationeel onderzoek om de mechanica van geavanceerde technische materialen te bestuderen in nauwe samenwerking met de industrie en de materiaalleveranciers.
