What We Do
We work at the intersection of traditional manufacturing and cutting-edge technology. We take a holistic approach to studying the manufacturing process chain – from raw material to finished part – and targets opportunities to add value by injecting advanced technology.
The overarching objectives of our work are to train the next generation of engineers by embedding them in active engineering projects with both public and private partners. We likewise strive to ensure that all members of CDME are able to work in the most safe and effective environment possible and to support their own project efforts with our expertise.
