Cambridge Mechatronics

Cambridge Mechatronics Ltd. (CML) is a multidisciplinary engineering company based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, developing industry-leading precision motion solutions for markets including smartphones, AR/VR, wearables and more. CML has world-leading expertise in mechanical, optical, electrical, software and controller silicon design, making use of its patented Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) platform technology. SMA is a Nickel-Titanium alloy that returns to its original shape when heated, and when used with proprietary electronic circuits and software it functions as a miniature motor (actuator). CML's actuators based on SMA wire are suited to applications requiring high precision and force in compact, lightweight designs, such as smartphone cameras. CML has established relationships with major global corporations across international supply chains, and its solutions are produced and deployed by renowned manufacturers worldwide under license, integrated into millions of consumer devices.
