About Saxion UAS

Saxion University of Applied Sciences is one of the largest institutions of higher education in the Netherlands, with over 24,000 students. In the creative process new materials and their potential design play an important role. After all, new materials may lead to creations that were inconceivable before. Functionality is a key word, taking into account that can be both core materials and materials that form composites or composite products together with the core material. For example by special coating or other finishing processes. By combining knowledge in these areas, a company chooses its materials. And this is where related issues of sustainability, industrialization, manufacturability, cost and supply chain arise.
