ABOUT US
CARDAM aims to create technical and economical added value for all customers, based on the effective collaboration between The Czech Academy of Sciences and industrial enterprises. The founding members and owners of CARDAM are the Institute of Physics of The Czech Academy of Sciences together with two leading and steadily growing Czech companies, one of them active in precision engineering, the other one in the foundry industry. The Institute of Physics covers a wide range of science and technology disciplines, which permeate additive design and manufacturing. Thanks to these important resources, CARDAM follows up on contemporary as well as historical know-how developed by the Czech sciences. The key incentive for industrial companies to establish CARDAM was to satisfy their long-term needs for creating a common collaborative platform with an academic environment. This innovative platform contributes to the development of the future product portfolio and new production processes and allows a dynamic transition towards the additive design and manufacturing technologies in the Czech Republic and Europe.

CARDAM continuously supports the innovative activities and technological development of the company, based on the integration process of cooperation with Czech and international structures. Innovation and technological development will further continue in cooperation with significant associations and institutes of the Czech Republic as well as European organizational structures and projects for additive design and manufacturing.
An important part of CARDAM represents a technology partner, who is involved both in the technological development of the additive manufacturing process, as well as in the development and assembly of the machines that enable this production process. There is currently a limited number of such significant companies in Europe, that cover key industrial areas and with which CARDAM founders are in long-term contact.
