Advanced manufacturing

We work in close collaboration with industry in order to deal with the most complex challenges of the digital era. We optimise processes and ensure quality in production via capacities such as digitalisation, automation, artificial intelligence and collaborative robotics technologies. This approach enables us to develop customised solutions to optimise processes, guarantee quality in terms of production, and strengthen business competitiveness in an industrial environment that is constantly evolving.

At Ceit, we specialize in every stage of additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy. We develop comprehensive solutions that cover everything from the research and development of new materials in the form of metallic or ceramic powders, to the optimization of advanced processes using state-of-the-art technologies. Our expertise spans both additive techniques and conventional powder consolidation processes, enabling us to design solutions tailored to the functional, mechanical, and economic requirements of each client.

We work on the design, processing and optimisation of innovative materials, geared towards meeting the demand of complex environments and applications. Our research ranges from the design of new alloys to their characterisation and validation. We work on key areas such as special steels, magnetic materials and ceramics, and on the development of specific solutions for applications in harsh environments, by integrating state-of-the-art manufacturing methods and simulation to ensure optimum properties and in-service performance.

We develops precision manufacturing processes for industrial applications through applied research in ultrashort pulse lasers (femtosecond pulses).

Femtosecond lasers are exact and versatile tools that can be used in a wide variety of materials such as metal, ceramics, glass and plastic, and enable us to process materials with a view to redefining the properties of the matter related to:

We research and develop solutions for the design and optimization of machinery and metallic manufacturing processes, ranging from conventional technologies such as forging and forming to advanced methods like binder jetting, sinter-HIP, and metal injection molding. Our expertise focuses on advanced modelling of mechanical systems — including dynamics, vibrations, tribology, and fatigue — and the analysis of the mechanical behaviour of materials under various operating conditions.

Using analytical and numerical models, we develop turnkey simulation tools designed to integrate into industrial environments such as digital twins and predictive maintenance systems, driving efficiency, reliability, and technological transformation in the industry.

We have been providing technological support and solutions for over 40 years to companies involved in steel forming, with a view to boosting competitiveness. We develop industrial-oriented R&D projects that focus on improving end properties and in-service behaviour of materials, as well as optimising manufacturing processes of components with high added value.
