Overview

Seamthesis Srl is a privately owned R&D and Competence Center as well as Research Body and Innovative Start-up based in Italy, highly specialized in metallic and non-metallic materials, fabrication processes and production technology, advanced characterization and performance assessment of products and systems. Found in 2013 by R&D experts, as the crown of more than total 200 years worldwide activity in the Industry R&D and international R&D centers, Seamthesis has been developing to include (among its competencies and know-how): 

Alloy design of metal and non-metal alloys, intermetallics, ceramics and refractories, advanced polymers, nanostructured materials and functional materials (e.g. graphene) 
Material production and characterization at the lab level in small, medium and large-scale conditions 
New fabrication processes and production technologies, including post-processing, in a full through-process approach 
Turnkey solutions deployment at client’s industrial site and tailoring 
… Many simulation codes and tools, both commercial and proprietary (home-made), for FEM/FEA, CAD/CAM, CFD (Comuputational Fluid-Dynamics) and finite differences modeling and analysis

HPC (High Power Computing) capacity, also for parallel calculation
