IBC has created a partnership with the European leader in CMC’s.

It is known that specialised CMC’s have a wide range of properties: heat resistance, wear resistance, chemical inertness, magnetism, electrical insulators and semiconductors, biocompatibility. Traditional, in surface coating or by additive manufacturing they are present in many fields: luxury, aeronautics and space, construction, energy, electronics, optic and medical uses.

Today, they offer unique and astonishing properties, physical and thermal, optical and electrical, which have opened a new world of development opportunities in all types of industries. Although very different from traditional CMC’s, they are designed and utilised to replace traditional processes in order to produce highly specialised products. Technical CMC’s often offer the perfect alternative solution, economical and high performance to traditional materials such as traditional metals or plastics.

The cluster leads its network in order to promote the innovation capacity of its actors:

• Promotion of the know-hows and products of its members
• Driving public-private partnerships
• Arising, mooting and dissemination of innovative projects
• Targeting and facilitating access to final markets
