Our qualified development team supports you with project implementation — from prototype construction and industrialization to series production. Each phase delivers a clearly defined deliverable.
MICADO understands your requirements and delivers new perspectives and solutions — right up to a patent-reviewed concept presentation that serves as a basis for decision-making.
The engineering team brings ideas to life — from design objects to complex mechanical assemblies. The result: a functional prototype made of plastic or metal.
Many years of experience across diverse industries open up new perspectives for series production processes and manufacturing possibilities — right up to the start of series production.
From patent research to industrialization — six disciplines that we orchestrate across three phases. Patent research is standard, not an option — a USP that no traditional toolmaking company offers.
Requirements analysis, requirements specification, concept designs, variant comparison — the creative preliminary work that eliminates engineering risks early on.
Patent law review, Freedom-to-Operate analysis, IP strategy — included in the standard package, making us one of the very few engineering partners to offer this.
CAD design (3D / 2D), detailed design, bills of materials, manufacturing drawings — consistently parametric, designed for manufacturing.
FEM analysis, flow simulation, load tests, topology optimization — virtual validation before the first chip falls.
Rapid prototyping, 3D printing, CNC samples, functional prototypes made of plastic and metal — from the first mock-up to series production release.
Tool design, production planning, pilot series, production ramp-up, certification — the last mile to SOP. Proven with -40% unit costs at DETO.
A selection of implemented product developments — from the world's first hybrid ski touring binding to the 5G-enabled pantograph with a 40,000 km service life. Filter by industry.
The world's first ski touring binding that combines Alpine and Pin systems — the downhill performance of an alpine binding with the touring capability of a pin binding.
Foldable alpine scooter — Sport variant as a smart descent aid, City variant electrified for the last mile. One platform, two worlds.
Pantograph with globally unique functions. Improved mileage, real-time data acquisition, 5G communication, Predictive Maintenance.
Constructive implementation of eyewear designs and production tools. Development partner from the very beginning — including the famous "unbreakable" hinge.
Redesign of the flaking mill and alternative manufacturing processes — adjustable flake size, consistent quality of the hopper assembly.
Pulley specifically for tree care. Flexible attachment points, optimized friction, high load capacity, PPE-certified.
