Supporting material and process research through real-world
post-processing insight.

Holdson regularly partners with leading universities and research institutions to support studies focused on advanced manufacturing, materials science, and engineering optimisation.

Our role typically involves contributing electrochemical polishing expertise to help evaluate the manufacturability and post-processing of emerging materials and component designs.

Whether it’s refining the surface integrity of experimental alloys or supporting the validation of new additive manufacturing workflows, we provide hands-on access to industrial polishing equipment, collaborative technical input, and tailored surface finishing cycles that enhance the depth and real-world impact of academic research.

Our academic collaborations often involve:

Typical areas of industrial collaboration include:

Industrial Partnership

Collaborating with manufacturers to solve real-world engineering challenges.

For industrial partners, Holdson offers R&D collaboration services to help explore,validate, and scale advanced post-processing solutions.

Whether you’re launching a new product, developing a new material, or working to integrate post-processing into your production line, we work with you to find answers.

We’re experienced in collaborative, multi-stakeholder projects that investigate the end-to-end manufacture of high-performance components.

From optimising post-processing cycles for complex geometries to co-developing automated workflows for challenging materials, our team helps deliver outcomes that are robust, scalable, and production-ready.
