Description

METALLICADOUR is a Technology Transfer Center in the area of production (machining, robotization of manufacturing process, robotization of control process and welding).
METALLICADOUR provides companies with a shared resource center equipped with high performance solutions, to contribute on the economic development of the region by adding an efficient tool. It proposes high-tech resources with top-level skills to support SME companies, increased the added value of the production, fosters the development of new industrial techniques (Industry 4.0) and reinforces the link between industry and research laboratories.

We work to speed up the appropriation of high technologies by European SMEs. Implementing these technologies – we believe – will help many companies from Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, French country and European area to adapt to market changes while retaining high productivity, a critical factor for manufacturing competitiveness.

METALLICADOUR develops innovative manufacturing processes (hard material machining helps, eco-responsible lubricant, hybrid friction stir welding, robotization of processes, etc.) in aeronautics, rail or energy sector and on-line control processes (digitized shape, machining defects, IR thermography, surface integrity...) by robotization.
