ABOUT EDDYTEC

Carbon fibre composites are lightweight and strong materials that can help solve climate issues. These materials are used to make airplanes lighter, save fuel and with that reduce CO2 emissions or to make more efficient wind turbines. But they are inherently difficult to test for cracks and that slows down their adoption in the industry. At Eddytec we are solving this problem. We are developing a novel non-destructive testing device that will make finding defects faster and simpler. With that we’ll accelerate innovation and contribute to sustainability in a number of industries.
Eddytec is a young ambitious startup that develops cutting-edge hardware for the aviation, energy and other sectors. We are located at the vibrant Science Park in Amsterdam amidst tech companies, research institutes and universities.
