Overview
Building internal R&D capability for emerging technologies like quantum computing, advanced materials or next-generation AI is slow and expensive. FA3's R&D services give you access to experienced scientific and engineering talent so you can move quickly without building everything in-house.
We work as an extension of your internal labs. Our teams of PhDs, hardware engineers and data scientists focus on solving specific technical problems, helping you get from concept to commercialised product faster.
What we do
- Applied AI & quantum research: We work with organisations to research and develop new algorithmic architectures, including quantum machine learning and advanced neural networks for specific industry applications.
- Hardware prototyping & mechatronics: We provide rapid end-to-end prototyping for complex physical systems, combining mechanical engineering, embedded systems design and IoT integration to produce functional, testable alpha units.
- Computational modelling & simulation: We use high-performance computing (HPC) environments to simulate complex physical phenomena such as fluid dynamics, structural stress and molecular interaction, significantly reducing the need for expensive physical prototypes.
- Innovation skunkworks: We help organisations set up secure, independent R&D facilities designed to operate outside of normal corporate processes, focused on developing high-risk, high-reward technologies.
How we work
Our R&D methodology centres on intellectual property protection and milestone-driven delivery. We know that open-ended research without commercial focus wastes capital, so we structure every engagement around clear, quantifiable deliverables and firm timelines.
We maintain strong operational security (OPSEC) throughout the development process. Your sensitive IP stays protected within secure, compartmentalised development environments until you are ready for market.
