SEAM has recently acquired a new 3D metal printing system as part of the government’s DTIF funding initiative. The EOS M100 is a highly specialised unit, which has a broad range of capabilities such as, the manufacture of high precision metallic parts from a wide range of materials such as titanium, magnesium alloys, platinum, gold

Virtual Reality (VR) provides an virtual immersive environment detached from the real world around them. This allows objects in this environment to be simulated in a fabricated world. These headsets usually block off the view of the real world in a HMD (head mounted display) and can be standalone like the Oculus Quest 2 or

The creation of three Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Clusters have generated an innovative ecosystem which offers solution-based RD&I opportunities for Irish companies. Each cluster provides research and development expertise to industry, of all sizes and sectors. The EMD Ireland cluster, specialising in Engineering, Materials and Design consists of seven Technology Gateways offering expert technical advice

The Innovation Voucher Programme was developed by Enterprise Ireland to build and develop links between Ireland’s public knowledge providers (i.e. higher education institutes, public research bodies) and Irish business. Creating an environment of research and innovation for companies and projects of all shapes and sizes. Since its introduction, businesses all across Ireland have ulitised the

What is Spectroscopy? Spectroscopy, in a broad sense, is the study of the interaction between radiation and matter as a function of wavelength. CAPPA’s spectroscopic platform is primarily based on UV absorption, fluorescence, Raman and Infra-Red spectroscopic techniques and its capabilities over the electromagnetic spectrum range: from UV through to visible, near-IR and mid-IR and

The Centre for Advanced Photonics and Process Analysis (CAPPA) is delighted to announce they are part of the Cork Institute of Technology Team to receive funding from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) for research into barrier masks to tackle the ongoing COVID – 19 pandemic. This is one of 41 projects funded under the SFI led

What is Raman Spectroscopy One of the primary technical areas of expertise at CAPPA is spectroscopy. Spectroscopy, in a broad sense, is the study of the interaction between radiation and matter as a function of wavelength. CAPPA’s spectroscopic platform is primarily based on Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy techniques and its capabilities over

Most companies have a multitude of great ideas that never get beyond the back of a notebook or post-it note due to a lack of internal resources / technologies to research, flesh out and develop them. The Enterprise Ireland, Applied IoT Technology Gateway Cluster is available to help your company take these ideas from the
