Development of processes with new alloys/matrices is done in the framework of joint projects with academic research groups:
  * Technion, Haifa, Israel
  * Ben Gurion University, Beer Sheva, Israel
  * Hanover University, Germany
  * Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic

AMTS is ready to answer a request for product development as well as a request for production of a given part upon receiving sufficient specifications.
We have the capability to turn a customer's idea into a final product.
The transition from the development stage to the industrial one is done at PALBAM by its advanced facilities.
