PMFACTORY srl offers industrial support for the development of new products.We take care of the product's style, mechanical planning, simulation, production, operations and project management. We work indipendently to develop the product from its concept phase to its production; or by collaborating with the internal teams on specific tasks.

ZENIT's business idea of Smart Polycrystals is based on the production and sale of polycrystals for the solid state laser (SSL) machine market. Existing SSL systems have high manufacturing costs and the machines are heavy and bulky. These laser beams are generated by a single-crystal that heats up locally during laser emission, causing the temporary deformation of the crystalline cell, degrading the quality of the beam and reducing its efficiency.
