SkeletonCAD, the next generation virtual product development platform, will benefit from a Swiss government grant from the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI). The approved project will be focused on further developing SkeletonCAD’s mechanical design software, and to expand the research efforts on it’s underlying technology.
“We are radically changing the way engineers are developing their products”, said Dr. Bogdan Lazar, CEO and Co-Founder of SkeletonCAD. “We have researched several years on a technology that seamlessly fuses design and simulation capabilities, and will save our customers up to 50% in their product development cycle. Through this project, we will be able to increase our research headcount to further expand our technology leadership and widen our intellectual property”.
Two scientific positions will be opened up as part of the CTI project in cooperation with the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) for the duration of one year. Follow-up projects are possible and likely. SkeletonCAD Sàrl was incorporated in July 2016 as a spin-off from EPFL with the objective to develop and commercially deploy a Computer-Aided Design and Simulation software based on the principle of Medial-Axis Transformation, developed within the former LICP Laboratory of EPFL. Its headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland with offices in Timisoara, Romania. The innovation is protected by an existing EPFL patent exclusively licensed by the company.
