ANAXAM stands for "Analytics with Neutrons And X-rays for Advanced Manufacturing" and it is a knowledge and technology transfer centre in Switzerland.[1] According to the Swiss government, it is one of the research competence centres of national importance.[2] Anaxam is part of the federal government's "Digitalisation" action plan[3] and a member of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Transfer Centers (AM-TTC) association.[4][5] The latter was founded by the federal government to promote innovation and accelerate the transfer of knowledge through the development and provision of infrastructure.[6] Anaxam is located on the Park Innovaare campus in the canton of Aargau.[7]
It is a non-profit organisation,[8] that aims to provide industry with access to advanced analytical methods originally developed for basic research.[1] Anaxam works with project partners on the basis of "public-private partnerships".
The centre provides industry with materials analysis using neutron and synchrotron radiation (X-rays) in the field of non-destructive material testing.[9][10] The technologies offered support companies in the optimisation of processes and products as well as in quality control and quality assurance. The project partners come from the raw materials industry, the metal industry, medical technology, the pharmaceutical industry and the automotive industry, among others.[11] They include large companies as well as SMEs, regional companies as well as national and international companies.[12]
Structure
[edit]The legal form of Anaxam is a Swiss association. It was founded in 2019 by the Paul Scherrer Institute, the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), the Swiss Nanoscience Institute and the canton of Aargau. The technology transfer centre is funded by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) in accordance with Article 15 of the FIFG (Swiss Federal Act on the Promotion of Research and Innovation). Basic funding comes from federal and cantonal funds. The association is also financed by income from its activities, contributions from supporting members, contributions and donations from private partners, donations from other organisations with similar goals and contributions in kind from public administrations, universities, research institutes and private partners.[11]
Areas of expertise
[edit]The analytical methods offered by Anaxam utilise the following procedures:
- Imaging: neutron imaging[13][14] and synchrotron imaging[15][16]
- Diffraction: neutron diffraction and synchrotron diffraction
- Small-angle scattering: neutron small-angle scattering and synchrotron small-angle scattering
- Spectroscopy: neutron spectroscopy and synchrotron spectroscopy
The measurements are carried out at various beamlines of research centres in Europe that operate large-scale research facilities with neutrons or photons.
In addition to materials analysis, Anaxam is also dedicated to knowledge transfer and trains working students and industry specialists in seminars, workshops and practical courses on materials analysis.[11]
