The Digital Materials Foundry is a new initiative established by Royce to support the digital transformation of materials innovation.

The Foundry is leveraging open-access experimental materials data, machine learning for property prediction models, language models for the materials domain and associated code to accelerate translation.

The programme of work delivered through the foundry will address challenges highlighted through the National Materials Innovation Strategy  around digital adoption by leveraging AI and Data to advance Materials 4.0 across the community.

The Foundry is now aggregating a range of tools and resources for research and innovation including libraries of experimental materials data and machine learning for property prediction models and code. These resources will ultimately improve the availability of materials data and help to remove boundaries in collaboration to advance collective solutions in materials innovation.
