One of the fundamental aspects of the architects , designers, industrialists… etc. is to know what materials we work with, what are the innovative materials more current or which exist on the market. You have to recognize that the variety is abundant;
Many times when researching or looking for new materials innovators supposes an "odyssey" when we enter the network, we end up lost among a thousand pages of companies without any attractive result and on top of that we have wasted time. Given this situation and seeing that this week -finally- has proceeded to the opening of totally free and free Materfad database we wanted present this portal that focuses on the material innovative , in addition to visualizing some others, where find information or a technical base of materials.
Content menu:
It is the materials center of Barcelona. Materials innovators Materfad, is a database of data with more than 4,000 materials integrated into the catalog (To get lost) accompanied by technical information, details of how to apply a material , among many other things functionalities without detracting from a very important point, contact information.
Keep in mind that it is no longer just access to the database that we can find in Europe, have opened three collaboration centers in Latin America via universities; From Medellin (Colombia), Aguascalientes (Mexico) and Valparaíso (Chile).
