Technoplast Group Ltd.
The predecessor of TECHNOPLAST was founded in 1980. Our company worked for space industry since 2009. Its activities include design, rapid prototyping, production of individual, small and large series plastic and metal parts with CNC machining, tool making. Our products are used by the automotive industry, the aerospace industry, the space industry and other industries that require development.
Relevance to the space industry
TECHNOPLAST produced aluminum and plastic mechanical parts with CNC cutting technology for five different satellites. As part of the FOCUS project, we made various mechanical parts for test equipment. The aim of the project was to investigate foam stability in a microgravity environment on the ISS space station. Using rapid prototyping technologies, we produced 28 plastic parts for a robot developed for the space industry.
Our company conducts R&D activities in the production of aluminum foams and plastic composites for the purpose of weight reduction, energy absorption and vibration damping.
Succes stories
Marker Support Navigation (MSN)
The aim of the project is to develop aging-resistant markers for ESA, which will be installed on ESA satellites. Their function is that when the satellites are no longer operational, a receiving satellite can connect to them, and these markers help with docking.
ARIEL PRODEX exoplanet research space telescope
ESA’s science mission, which will be used to study the atmospheres of exoplanets.
Copernicus CO2M, carbon dioxide monitoring satellite
Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring (CO2M) is the mission of the European Space Agency (ESA), which is the first to assess how much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through human activity.
Comet Interceptor
Comet Interceptor is a robotic spacecraft mission managed by the European Space Agency (ESA) planned for launch in 2029.
FOCUS Foam casting and utilization in space
CNC machined mechanical parts (box, window, cover, buttons) for test equipment. The aim of the project is to investigate the foaming process and foam stability in an aqueous environment under microgravity in order to determine the development of metal foam production technology. Testing of the equipment 02.07.2010. it took place on the ISS space station with the participation of astronaut Jeffrey Williams.
