National Competence Centre of Mechatronics and Smart Technologies for Mechanical Engineering (NCC MESTEC).
Research focus of NCC has been conceived so that the Centre combines multidisciplinary research specialisations (design, mechanics, electrotechnics, chemistry, biology, sensors, material engineering, virtual design, etc.). These specialisations target three mutually related technological areas which prioritize machinery production for 21st century.
NCC involves departments from 6 RO a 18 development capacities of businesses.
Zaměření centra kombinuje víceoborové výzkumné specializace (konstruování, mechanika, elektrotechnika, chemie, biologie, senzorika, materiálové inženýrství, virtuální navrhování apod.), které směřují ke třem vzájemně provázaným technologickým oblastem, jejichž uplatnění je zacíleno prioritně na strojírenskou výrobu pro 21. století.
The project TN01000071 of National Competence Centre of Mechatronics and Smart Technologies for Mechanical Engineering (2019 – 2022) was co-financed with the support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, within the National Centres of Competence Programme
The key domain for the industry of the 21st century appears to be, particularly in the conditions of the Czech Republic, the development of technologies enabling the production of smart components and systems that will be the basis of new generation of machines and devices.
Materials and the material research are the basic prerequisites for (not only) mechanical engineering of the 21st century.
The dynamic development of additive manufacturing (AM) in the last decade is one of the major technological themes affecting the entire spectrum of industrial sectors.
The requirement of effective production and conservation of natural resources can be achieved by applied research and by the development of new technologies and their integration into modern machines, devices, and processes.
