"I need your research support!"
──Those words keep us going every day!

At the Materials Forming Unit, we’re all about supporting cutting-edge materials research. We bring together a wide range of advanced processing techniques and expertise to provide essential support to researchers, both at NIMS and beyond.

Here’s what we do:
・Material Forming and Property Testing
・Precision machining of experimental devices and parts
・Design and fabrication of custom glass scientific instruments
・Sample prep for structural analysis and observation

We’re here to help you create the perfect setup for your experiments. And when researchers come to us with unique or challenging requests, we’re ready! Whether it’s improving equipment or developing custom fixtures, we love tackling new challenges. By working closely with researchers on-site, we fine-tune processing conditions to make sure the results are as precise as possible.

We also host regular technical workshops to help users sharpen their skills. With the right tools and guidance, we ensure you can make the most of the resources available to you, helping your research go even further!

When researchers say, ‘I need your research support!’ — that’s what motivates us most.
