FIDAMC (Foundation for the Research
& Development on Composite Materials)

ENTITY PROFILE
FIDAMC is a Research Center mainly addressed to aerospace activities but widely open to
other sectors, having carried out projects in the railway, wind energy and automotive areas.
FIDAMC staff number is composed by high-skilled engineers, with a strong background on
composite materials.

FIDAMC facilities are placed in Getafe, with an area of about 1500 m2 for offices and about
4000 m2 for the physicochemical and mechanical laboratories and the manufacturing
workshop. This huge area gives house to the specific state-of-the-art equipment required to
carry out all the activities related to the ongoing projects, such as automatic lay-up equipment
for dry fiber and prepregs, autoclaves, press or universal testing machines. UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH CENTRES
