Know-how
- R&D for Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Tooling: works on new innovative processes and their associated calculation algorithms using its proprietary rapid prototyping process Stratoconception® and its associated software Stratoconcept® III.
- R&D for high-speed machining and cutting monitoring: study of advanced machining processes, in particular the experimental study of cutting techniques and process monitoring. This involves the measurement and study of thermal fields at the part/tool and chip/tool interfaces by incorporated microsensors connected to the ACTARUS® system and its TWS® software.
- Numerical Rapid Product Development: CIRTES own a fully-equipped platform including all techniques of the numerical rapid product development chain (3D digitalization, numerical simulation, virtual reality, rapid prototyping, rapid tooling, rapid manufacturing, 5 axes machining and 3D control).
