The development of machines and new technologies is an exciting and challenging field that has to take many aspects into account. Some of these are:

• The opportunities and risks of new technologies and applications for society, the economy, the environment and ethics. It is important to analyse and evaluate the potential impact and consequences of innovations in order to find responsible and sustainable solutions
• The requirements and needs of users, customers and stakeholders. It is important to understand the problems and challenges that the new technologies are intended to solve or improve and to take into account the expectations and preferences of the target group. User-centred design and feedback are essential elements for the development of products and services that create added value
• The technical and scientific basis of new technologies and applications. It is important to understand and optimise the functionality, performance, quality, safety and reliability of new technologies and applications. Research and development, testing and validation are essential elements for the development of innovative and effective solutions
• The legal and regulatory framework for new technologies and applications. It is important to know and comply with the applicable laws, standards, guidelines and regulations that affect the development, implementation, operation and use of new technologies and applications. Compliance, certification and licensing are essential elements for the development of legal and accepted solutions

These are some general topics for the development of machines and new technologies that are important to us. Of course, there are many other aspects that can vary depending on the specific context, application area, technology area and stage of development.

We work with the 3D CAD software Autodesk Inventor.
