WHAT IS POSSIBLE WITH EXTENDED KNOWLEDGE?
3Y RESEARCH/WORK:
1. SOLVE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AND FUNCTIONS
WITH SMART DESIGN
2. PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC SEGMENTS
3. PREDICT THEIR BEHAVIOR
4. TEST THEIR PERFORMANCE IN REAL LIFE
CONDITIONS AND COMPARE WITH OTHER
TECHNOLOGIES IF POSSIBLE
5. COMPARE PREDICTED AND REAL LIFE RESULTS
5Y RESEARCH/WORK:
1. FULL SCALE TESTED FOR APPLICATION WITH
SMART SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS AND DESIGNED
ASSEMBLY
cca 10Y RESEARCH/WORK:
1. FULL SCALE FROM 6 BUT MANUFACTURED AND
TESTED IN ONE MOVE – DEPENDS ON THE
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT (BUILD CHAMBER
SIZE , RESOLUTION AND MATERIAL)
