World-leading compact SMA solutions

Engineering the future of consumer electronic products

CML has world-leading expertise in the mechanical, optical, electrical, silicon and software design for system level solutions making use of our patented Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) platform technology. Solutions such as actuators based on SMA wire (which is as thin as a human hair) can be controlled to the accuracy of the wavelength of light. These actuators are particularly suited to applications that require high levels of precision and force, in a compact and lightweight design.

CML has established relationships with major global corporations across international supply chains. Our solutions are in production under licence by global manufacturers, which are currently shipping in volumes of 10s of millions in devices.

Multidisciplinary team, one mission.

To create a truly multidisciplinary team, CML has combined world-class engineers from a broad variety of backgrounds. Key areas of expertise include mechanical, electronic, software, and control engineering, materials science, design of experiments, system modelling and simulation. The aggregation of these skills allows CML to successfully work with the global giants of industry and their preferred supply chains. Design and development activities encompass mechanical actuators, electronics, custom ASICs, algorithms, firmware, manufacturing processes and test equipment.

Although much of CML's technology is developed at its headquarters, CML's teams regularly support customers and their supply chains around the world. This can be as varied as a design review at an R&D centre, assembly facility equipment installation, performance and reliability testing, or a supplier audit.

CML’s mission is to provide world class designs for its customers, enabling more powerful, compact and precise solutions than before.
