Is a R&D Start-up company founded in 2019 in Lyon, France by researchers
from the National Institute of Applied Sciences in Lyon. We develop and offer innovative software
solutions and services for the modeling of new materials and manufacturing processes.
At Innovamics, we understand that innovation and research go side-by-side and that collaboration is an
incredible catalyst for achieving challenging goals in a short time. This is why our solutions are
developed in collaboration with leading laboratories and industries.
GOALS
Our goal is to offer innovative numerical solutions for emerging markets in the field of material and process modelling.
OBJECTIVES
Our objective is to develop, in collaboration with academics and industry, a suite of targeted software based on the latest state of the art.

INNOVATING IN
Process Modeling in Composite Manufacturing
Industrial ecology, sustainability, energy efficiency are terms that
guide the development and design of new products in today's world.
The search for lighter materials to replace metal alloys while improving mechanical, thermal and
chemical properties has encouraged the development of composite materials. However, the behavior
of these materials is complex. When developing a new composite product, manufacturers resort to
costly trial and error campaigns. Numerical simulation is a promising solution for virtually
anticipating the result of a manufacturing process and the effective properties of the final part:
fibers orientation, wrinkles, voids, in-service properties, delamination, failure, etc.
Composite materials and their transformation processes evolve every year and modelling methods
must follow this trend. Innovamics is currently working on the development of innovative numerical
tools adapted to today's industrial challenges, from manufacturing to service. Our goal is to
reduce your design costs, increase your manufacturing efficiency and accelerate your innovation
process.
