The AMRICC Centre

The AMRICC Centre is a pilot-scale development facility that focuses on the advanced ceramics manufacturing process. While located in the UK, it is available on an open-access basis to clients both nationally and internationally. It provides the ability to rapidly solve materials development and production challenges, and thus accelerate products to market through the commercialisation of innovative ideas.

The AMRICC Centre serves as a Centre of Excellence for the development of advanced ceramic technologies. It combines capabilities from powder processing, forming, sintering, and testing, all the way through the manufacturing process – notably all in one place.

The cutting-edge equipment at The AMRICC Centre provides capabilities that are rarely available elsewhere, and covers a range of equipment capable of replicating extreme conditions, from densification with hot or cold isostatic pressure, to sintering up to 3000 degrees Celsius, sintering in a vacuum, or in atmospheres such as argon.

It uses the expertise of material scientists, engineers, data scientists, and computational modellers to turn innovative ideas into market-enabled technologies.   Alongside this is The AMRICC Academy which provides training for industry designed by industry experts.
