Functional, safe, sustainable and connected furniture. Conceptual design / redesign, detail, mechanical, mechatronic, ergonomic and product usability simulation. Incorporation of sustainability and recyclability criteria - Ecodesign.
Technical advice for the improvement and validation of materials and products regarding national and international regulations by conducting tests and advice on:
- Quality and behavior of furniture, mattresses and luminaires.
- Emission of Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs, materials and products.
- Fire behavior (reaction).
- Behavior against aggressive conditions and aging: temperature, humidity, corrosion, solar radiation, vibration.
- Protection and behavior of wood and derivatives against degrading agents - biodegradation.
Advice on products and materials in contact with food (metal and wood), property analysis, migration tests and compliance with regulations.
Analysis and evaluation of the conformity of packaging prototypes depending on the product and service requirements.
Analysis of defects and causes of failure, assessment and preparation of technical reports in legal proceedings.
Advice to public and private entities in the preparation of purchase documents.
