Patented technology platform for substantial global markets

Mechatronics involves the harmony between different engineering and scientific disciplines, primarily mechanical engineering and electronics, to deliver innovative and sophisticated product designs.

CML has developed and delivered technological innovations for applications which require extremely small, lightweight, precise and powerful actuators. This has established a technology platform that is highly compatible with an electronics-dominated world, not just supplanting current actuator technology but creating entirely new applications.

CML is developing solutions with its Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) technology platform using first-rate technical expertise. From delivering high-performance cameras to localised haptic (touch) sensations, CML creates value for investors, customers, partners and end users.

CML works with multiple supply chains that have made significant investments to put in place production capacity to deliver millions of SMA actuators, cameras and silicon chips per month. In addition to CML's design and development work on mechanical actuators, electronics, algorithms, software code, and manufacturing and test equipment, CML supports its camera actuator partners and customers globally.

CML stands out as a business that can deliver world-class technology for next generation products in ultra-high volume product segments.

In order to successfully work alongside the world’s technology giants and their preferred supply chains, the strength of technology and team is paramount. To create a truly multidisciplinary environment, 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 CML technology platform is also evolving alongside growing and emerging markets. SMA actuators are suitable wherever small, lightweight, precise and powerful motors are required. CML technology is particularly applicable across a range of devices from mobile phones to wearables and beyond, with active developments for haptic, 3D sensing and augmented reality (AR) products in these markets.

An extensive portfolio of patents, know-how, proprietary software and semiconductor designs has been developed to protect CML's competitive position within the actuator ecosystem.

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

CML licenses actuators for cameras currently used in smartphones, wearables and drones. Beyond that, CML has developed haptic actuators alongside actuators for 3D sensing and augmented reality applications to meet consumer needs across all applicable markets.

Cameras are one of the key features within electronic devices. Vendors compete to offer superior imaging technology, increasing both the quantity and quality of cameras. Smartphones exemplify such market trends, with the total number of individual camera modules expected to exceed 6.3 billion annually in 2023.

Haptic technology is set to reach $5 billion by 2025. 80% of market growth will be driven by smartphones, tablets and wearables, with an array of applications from gaming to enabling new smartphone casework designs.

One can conclude that CML's target markets are all high volume, providing substantial opportunities for growth.
