Your bridge between material research and material engineering
The Material Engineering Center Saarland (MECS), centrally located on the university campus, was founded in 2009 by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Mücklich and his team as a Steinbeis research center from the Materials Science and Engineering Department of Saarland University. The MECS is dedicated to a customized materials technology transfer in cooperation with regional, national and international companies.
Starting from compact feasibility studies for the rapid identification of the respective transfer potential, cooperation projects and also long-term strategic partnerships are developed. In addition, MECS offers various service measurements of material analysis and microstructure characterization.
The portfolio is completed by consultations on material development and digitalization including the use of machine learning. Customized training courses, failure analyses and expert reports are also part of the MECS offering.
Services
