SÒPHIA HIGH TECH's core business is focused on product development and manufacturing. The Company has 3 main Business Units:
- BU 1 | Prototyping & LRIP
Low Rate Industrial Production with high precision CNC machines and Additive Manufacturing (SLM - Selective Laser Melting) processes. SÒPHIA has a strong know-how related to product development, which has allowed the Company to become increasingly involved in the control of the production process. Using this “turnkey” approach, the Customer has the advantage of interfacing with a single company that assumes the complete responsibility for the project.
- BU2 | Design & Simulation
Structural optimization, using CAD-CAD approach, allows SÒPHIA to design lightweight and performative parts using a simulation-driven design approach. Advances in manufacturing technology also allow these sometimes complex designs to be built using both traditional processes like CNC machining, but also through Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing. Structural optimization has great potential for the aerospace construction industry. The construction industry is responsible for a large share of the worldwide consumption of natural resources, and structural optimization can help to reduce this, so improving the sustainability of the sector.
- BU 3 | Testing Equipments
In R&D materials and structures testing fixtures for the execution of tests are frequently required.
Sòphia High Tech designs and manufactures a wide range of test equipments for the testing of materials, made in accordance with UNI, EN, ISO, ASTM, DIN, BS, AF, standards and following custom specifications provided by Customers.
