Founded in July 2002 in Dresden, Smart Material GmbH is a developer and manufacturer of advanced piezo composite materials and systems based on these materials. Piezo composite materials manufactured by Smart Material are used in a wide spectrum of applications as actuators and sensors in ultrasound transducers and vibration energy harvesting devices.
Our mission: To provide advanced piezo composites and required electronic systems for commercial, research, and educational applications in high quantity and high quality.
Our team serves a wide range of market segments in the industrial, defense, and aerospace sectors. Academic, company, and government research and development customers are a special and growing market segment. We are also providing engineering services for designing and developing systems based on these new materials.
Within the GENEX project, Smart Material will work on a novel type of flexible piezoelectric ultrasound transducer capable to transmit and receive shear horizontal waves. Furthermore, suitable electronic components for the therefore needed high voltage burst excitation will be developed.
