AFM was established in 2004 to develop components for ultrasound devices using micro-scale ceramic manufacturing techniques developed at the University of Birmingham. The company possesses a platform of novel ceramic processing technologies which enable the manufacture of unique functional ceramic devices in complex shapes and micro-scale sizes. The company has established a niche position in the development and supply of bespoke ceramic components.
The company spent several years developing its own product set, utilising grants in excess of £900k. The first iteration of this technology (a high-frequency single element transducer) has now been technically proven and patent protected and is generating significant interest from end users in the medical imaging market. Over the last 18-months, the company has successfully engaged with component manufacturers and OEMs operating in a $5bn market, and has established a strong pipeline of potential customers and licensees.
