ANAXAM stands for "Analytics with Neutrons And X-rays for Advanced Manufacturing" and it is a knowledge and technology transfer centre in Switzerland.[1] Anaxam is part of the federal government's "Digitalisation" action plan[2] and a member of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Transfer Centers (AM-TTC) association.[3][4] Anaxam is located on the Park Innovaare campus in the canton of Aargau.[5]
It is a non-profit organisation,[6] that aims to provide industry with access to advanced analytical methods originally developed for basic research.[1] Anaxam works with project partners on the basis of "public-private partnerships".
The centre provides industry with materials analysis using neutron and synchrotron radiation (X-rays) in the field of non-destructive material testing.[7][8] The technologies offered support companies in the optimisation of processes and products as well as in quality control and quality assurance. The project partners come from the raw materials industry, the metal industry, medical technology, the pharmaceutical industry and the automotive industry, among others.[9] They include large companies as well as SMEs, regional companies as well as national and international companies.[10]
Amongst others, ANAXAM uses the large-scale research facilities of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) – particularly the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ) and the Swiss Light Source (SLS). ANAXAM is located in the immediate vicinity of the Paul Scherrer Institute on the Park Innovaare Campus in Villigen, Switzerland.[11]
