WOT start-up at the futureSAX innovation conference


CMMC GmbH, a start-up spin-off from the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering, successfully presented itself at the innovation conference of futureSAX, the innovation platform of the Free State of Saxony, on 23 June 2022. The Minister of State for Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport of the Free State of Saxony, Martin Dulig, also took the opportunity to find out about innovative lightweight materials, the patented process and the diverse customer applications.

CMMC GmbH develops structural materials from metal matrix composites of different compositions. Initially, the focus is on the material with the highest application potential: particle-reinforced aluminium alloys, or AMC for short. CMMC uses a novel manufacturing process that makes it possible to continuously produce AMC materials on a series-relevant scale using casting technology. This not only opens up access to energy savings in material use, but also to energy and cost savings in AMC material production compared to competing AMC production processes such as stir casting or sintering. The aim of the WOT spin-off is to use this method to bring AMC materials out of their niche existence and into widespread use.
