Cambridge Mechatronics

Cambridge Mechatronics is a technology company that develops shape memory alloy (SMA) based actuators for optical image stabilization in smartphone cameras and other precision motion control applications. The company technology incorporates a single piece of shape memory alloy that provides force, motion, and precision control of optical elements, offering a more robust, smaller, and simpler alternative to traditional electromagnetic actuators. The SMA-based approach does not use magnets, reducing interference with other components, and enables miniaturization critical for mobile device integration. Cambridge Mechatronics licenses its technology to semiconductor and electronics manufacturers, with applications spanning micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), advanced materials, and smart materials. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom, the company has raised $40 million through Series C funding from investors including Intel Capital, Atlantic Bridge, Sony Innovation Fund, EIC Fund, and Supernova Invest.
