- Additional information
- Multidisciplinary research from the Universities of Bradford, Cardiff and Birmingham that developed a new manufacturing process chain for moulding of micro and nano scale features for an anti-counterfeit application. The methods developed were used for mould structuring and surface patterning in follow on research programmes including: EU H2020 HIMALAIA - N°766871 €4.7M; EU MC ITN MICROMAN N° 674801 (€3.5M); Sofmat Ltd R&D (£180k). These programmes have seen applications of this process chain on real products at industrial partners including Fiat (automotive), Albea (cosmetics packaging), Dyson (consumer goods) and Sofmat Ltd (anticounterfeit technologies).
