All this ANAXAM talk sounds like rocket science?
You're not alone. What we do can indeed sound a bit... extraterrestrial.
That’s why we created a short and lovingly illustrated story to explain what ANAXAM is really all about –in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand. Discover how we make the invisible visible, how we help industry look deep inside materials – no crystal ball required – and why, even though we work with a “UFO”, we don’t actually fly one.
