Pricing
Given the diversity of requests for specific products (glass, preform, fibre, advanced manufacturing material analysis and functionalisation) of differing materials and structures, we provide individual quotes for each specific request. These quotes will be based on the anticipated requirement for operator time, equipment, custom tooling and consumables.
The ANFF has an Access and Pricing Policy that is intended to ensure that there are as few barriers as possible. For full details please see the ANFF Access and Pricing Policy
