With a focus on piezoelectric technology, Micromechatronics Inc (MMech) was founded as a spin-off company from the International Center for Actuators and Transducers (ICAT), one of the research centers of The Pennsylvania State University. The firm's portfolio includes piezoelectric actuators, ultrasonic motors, transducers, acoustic devices and piezoelectric transformers, as well as design supporting tools such as ATILA FEA software, books and courses on piezoelectric technology. On top of a strong piezo-based commercial platform, MMech also offers Research and Development services through their R&D division which takes advantage of the strong know-how shared with Penn State University. The R&D division has unique expertise in breakthrough piezoelectric devices, including micro-motors, piezoelectric transformers, energy harvesting devices and micro-robots. MMech possesses a multiple patent portfolio as a result of its own developments, licenses from The Penn State University (including the present 26 patent of the entrepreneur, Kenji Uchino).
