The first of the relaunched Plymouth Electron Microscopy Centre (PEMC) Industrial Solutions events took place on Thursday 15 November with over 35 delegates from industry, business support organisations and academia joining us to hear the latest Innovate UK opportunities and to find out how South West Metal Finishing Ltd and Ramer Ltd have already used the new FIB-SEM to make a real difference to their company performance.
“The results from PMCP have aided SWMF in developing a better understanding of the process aided by experts and access to specialist equipment.” (James Bradbury, South West Metal Finishing Ltd)
“Using the new FIB-SEM helped to take Ramer’s understanding of their pva foam technology to a new level; we can whole-heartedly recommend Plymouth Electron Microscopy Centre.” (Steve Cooper, Ramer Ltd)
Please refer to the case studies below for the full South West Metal Finishing Ltd and Ramer Ltd stories. For a PDF of the day’s presentations, please contact Claire Pearce (please see below).
Supported by Innovate UK, UKRI, ZEISS, the University’s own Research & Innovation team and funded by ERDF, PEMC invites industrial partners old and new to join us for one of our future events on the main University campus, to discover what Electron Microscopy could do for you.
Over the next 18 months, PEMC will host a series of events that will focus specifically on sectors identified within the UK government’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund and priority areas for the HOTSW Local Enterprise Partnership. Companies are warmly invited to join us for any or all of these free events, to learn more about our services, existing collaborations and future opportunities, and how your business could benefit.
Designed to be informative, relevant and useful in terms of practical analysis and future funding opportunities, each event will be brief, but packed with useful information to inspire.
