ATANOR RESEARCH & ENGINEERING
Research and engineering
for materials and processes.
We carry out commissioned studies, experimental development and engineering work. Each project starts with a technical question and the information needed to investigate it.
Scope, deliverables and costs are set out in the project proposal.
01 / SERVICES
Development, design
and industrial feasibility.
Projects can address a material, a component, a manufacturing route or the business case for a technology.
02 /
3D design and simulation
Three-dimensional computer-aided design (3D CAD), process simulation and design for additive manufacturing (DfAM).
Models, drawings and simulation results within the project scope.
03 /
Product and process re-engineering
Review components and production routes, with particular attention to integrating additive technologies into conventional manufacturing workflows.
Alternative concepts, process routes and implementation requirements.
04 /
Functional prototypes and short runs
Supply of custom components outside standard product ranges, especially as a continuation of the design work. Manufacturing routes are selected for the application.
Prototypes or short production runs to agreed specifications.
05 /
Technical-economic feasibility
Compare technical routes, costs, production assumptions and market requirements before committing to development or equipment.
Feasibility studies, market analysis and decision criteria.
06 /
Research projects and business planning
Management of research and development projects, technical proposal writing, work plans, budgets and business plans for deep-tech activities.
Proposals, project plans, progress reports and business plans.
02 / PROJECT METHOD
How a study is organised.
The programme is divided into phases when an early result is needed to decide whether to continue.
Technical brief
Review the application, existing data, samples and constraints. Identify the question the work must answer.
Output: objectives, assumptions and scope.Test programme
Select experiments, measurement methods, sample quantities and decision criteria. Record the main sources of uncertainty.
Output: activities, deliverables, timing and budget.Experimental work
Carry out the planned work and document conditions, observations, deviations and results. External analyses are identified in the programme.
Output: samples, data and analysis within the agreed scope.Technical review
Compare the results with the initial objective and identify what has been demonstrated, what remains uncertain and whether further work is warranted.
Output: technical report and recommendations.
03 / FACILITIES AND MEASUREMENTS
In-house trials
and external analysis.
The proposal distinguishes work carried out at ATANOR from measurements assigned to specialist laboratories.
- ASTRA plasma pilot plant
An operational RF-ICP installation for powder treatment trials. Material compatibility and the test conditions are assessed for each enquiry.
- Powder characterisation
The measurement programme may include morphology, particle size, flow, density, chemistry and phases. The report should state the method and test conditions for each result.
- Specialist laboratory work
Microscopy and specialist chemical or phase analyses are arranged with external laboratories where required. Providers, samples and analysis costs are included in the project scope.
04 / PROJECT AGREEMENTS
Confidentiality, results
and responsibilities.
These terms are settled before work starts, including any requirements set by a funding programme or research consortium.
Confidential information
Use a non-confidential initial brief. If detailed discussion requires protected information, establish a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and the permitted uses before sharing it.
Intellectual property and publication
The agreement identifies pre-existing knowledge, ownership of new results, rights of use and publication conditions. Any transfer or licence is specified in that agreement.
Experimental uncertainty
An investigation can show that a proposed route is unsuitable. The proposal should specify how results are assessed and when the work can be stopped or revised.
Research proposals
Technical proposal support covers the activities stated in the quotation. It does not guarantee funding, approval or a successful technical outcome.
