The XP Center will be home to Dormer Pramet's materials team who are currently focusing on researching the properties of substrates, developing new CVD and PVD coatings and improving the implementation of the cutting edge.

Part of the R&D projects driven from this site will be the creation and implementation of new production technologies, improving knowledge to support the manufacture of cemented carbide products in the most efficient way.

Also, the XP Center features a modern laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art technology, such as electron microscopes, 3D scanners and a machine for measuring material wear during repeated stress.

The very core of the XP Center is a modern testing room featuring a variety of machine tools and measuring equipment. This will allow Dormer Pramet to test the functional properties of product prototypes and verify whether the cutting tool meets expectations before being put into production. 

Further machines will be reserved for customer tests. These will also form part of a comprehensive training base, which consists of a presentation hall and several conference rooms.
