Questions and Information
Do I need to have all the expertise in my company?
Only you know your product and your needs – you are the specialist in that area. We, on the other hand, understand our applications and the possibilities they offer for you.
How do I know if my question can be answered?
Together with PSI Technology Transfer and our specialists, we can discuss possibilities, preliminary tests, and projects without incurring any costs upfront.
How long will it take to solve my problem?
It depends on the task and the associated challenge. Simple measurements can be completed within a week, while Innosuisse projects can take 2 to 3 years.
Do I need to visit PSI in person?
While it is helpful to visit PSI to outline a project and meet the involved persons, for certain measurements and investigations, it is sufficient if only your samples or materials "come to us."
Who should I contact?
The Technology Transfer Office is your first point of contact. Subsequently, you will develop the solution together with our specialists.
Additional access options
Access to the research facilities is not only available via the technology transfer office, but also through additional channels.
Access via the technology transfer center ANAXAM
ANAXAM (Analytics for Advanced Manufacturing) is a technology transfer center for advanced manufacturing, located at Park Innovaare directly adjacent to PSI.
ANAXAM enables industry to benefit from state-of-the-art applied materials analytics using neutron and synchrotron radiation (X-rays) in the field of non-destructive material testing.
These capabilities include, for example:
- Imaging (material distribution analysis, reverse engineering, etc.)
- Diffraction (phase and structural characterization)
- Scattering (size and shape distribution analysis)
- Spectroscopy (chemical imaging and characterization)
Access via SLS TT AG
If your research problem is already well defined or you have previously conducted measurements with us, you may contact SLS TT AG directly. They will guide you through the process, provide the appropriate contractual setup for fast access, and arrange confidentiality agreements if required, while supporting you in preparing and coordinating your measurement campaign.
