CAFE4DM researchers at work

The Centre in Advanced Fluid Engineering for Digital Manufacturing (CAFE4DM)

Addressing challenges in understanding, creating and scaling up manufacturing processes for formulated products.

Our mission

The Centre aims to address the challenges in understanding, creating and scaling up manufacturing processes for formulated products in fast moving consumer goods (home/personal care and food products).

The main objective is to develop a new modelling approach and the associated materials, measurement and validation to describe these mixtures to enable a significant reduction in conventional physical experimentation.

This will accelerate the route from the laboratory to the market place through the increased efficiency of product and process identification and, therefore, a reduction in cost and minimisation of waste.
