  1. your reliable partner in development ofnewproducts,tools and technologies • TECOS AS A SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT TO R&D ORIENTED PRODUCTION COMPANIES • Samo Gazvoda TechnicalDirector, TECOS Slovenia • Togliatti, Russia, 17thOctober 2013

  2. Whowe are? • Technology center forappliedresearchanddevelopment in thefieldsoftoolmakingandproductiontechnologies • Established in 1994 • 17 employees, 1,2 MIO income (2012) CELJE

  3. Whowe are? • OUR VISIONTo become the long-term strategic development partner ofproductioncompanies in Slovenia and the wider region. Furthermore, to become a renowned European technologicalcentre in the areas of the development of new products, mouldsand technologies.

  4. Whowe are? • non-profit institution • ourfundingsources are servicesfortheindustry (~40%), prototypeproduction (~10%) andindustry or publicfunded R&D projects (~50%)

  5. Thebeginnings • Established in 1994 • Initiativewasraisedbythetoolmakers, themaingoalwas to helpthem on enteringthehighdemandingwesternmarkets (transitionfromtheYugoslavianmarkets) • Wereceived start-up fundsofroughly 75.000 € fromourco-founders • ourincome is strictlyearned on the market (roughly 50% fromtheindustry, the rest frompublicfunded R&D projects) – no governmentfunding • until 1997 onlytrainingandtechnology transfer • in 1997 introductionof R&D dept., soonafterinvestmentsintoMoldflowandPamStamp • in 2006 investmentintofirstinjectionmouldingmachines

  6. What we do? • engineeringservices: • turnkeyprojects in product development (from conceptto real prototype) • design optimisation & reducing of material costs • eliminating trial by error costs, reducing time to market andproduction start up costs • troubleshootingand problem solvingin production • dimensionalinspection, 3D-scanningandreverseengineering • applied R&D in manufacturingtechnologies • technology transfer • specialisedtraining, bespoketrainingon-demand • networkingactivities

  7. Simulation of production processes of plastic and metal parts Structural analyses How we do it? Designing & 3D modeling Fluid flow modeling 3D scanning & reverse engineering

  8. How we do it? Testing and (prototype) production (thermoplasts, thermosets,multi-component, LSR, MIM)

  9. Position in the business environment governmentinitiatives, identifyingindustrialneeds UNIVERSITIES, BASIC RESEARCH INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATIONS appliedpublicfunded R&D, studentinternship, teaching engineeringservices, contract R&D, technology transfer, training, jointinfrastructure INDUSTRY

  10. Position in the suppy chain

  11. International cooperation • CooperationwithrenownedEuropean R&D centers • R&D cooperationwithOEMs • Cooperation in EU R&D programmesandinitiatives medium to largescale R&D projects in largerconsortiums (10-30 partners) ~ 300.000 EUR income (30%) on yearlybasis

  12. International cooperation • Coordinationofmanufuture.si platform • ThemissionofManufuture is in short to promotemanufacturingtechnologies to the EU commission • CoordinationofSlovenianactivities on ISTMA (InternationalSpecialToolingandMachiningAssociation)

  13. AppliedR&D projects: • contract R&D (industry or publicfunded) • set-up of R&D projects • long term project 3-5 years (public funded) • mid term projects 1-3 years (public & industry funded) • consortium building • research institutes, universities, companies from Slovenia and abroad • selection of appropriate national and EU funding mechanisms for the projects (7th FP, EUREKA, EUROSTARS, Manunet, Cornet, MNT-ERA.net, etc.) • preparation and submission of project proposals • coordination and execution of R&D projects • implementation of project results • dissemination activities within funded R&D projects

  14. Internalresearchprojects • Focused on polymerprocessing (injectionmoulding) • RESEARCH AREAS: Metal InjectionMoulding Biodegradablematerials Courtesyofprlog.com Courtesyofinjection-moldings.com MicroInjectionMoulding

  15. Networkingactivities • TECOS is alsoanindustrialassociationwithaprox. 80 members

  16. Networkingactivities • ICIT&MPT – BiennialInternationalConference on IndustrialToolsand Material Processing Technologies ICIT&MPT conferenceshavesince 1997 attracted more than 700 guestsfrom 40 countries. You are cordiallyinvited to participate on ICIT&MPT 2014! Visittecos.si/icitfor more information
