In 2003 Intermag – Modelex Inc. sold its product development business unit to its main director, Roch Champagne (Intermag-Modelex product development assets). From this transaction STYL&TECH was born , deploying its skills and serving clients with efficiency.
Rapidly, STYL&TECH integrated Intermag – Modelex’s (IM) nonferrous metal (aluminum and magnesium) and polymers (plastics and composites) expertise and knowledge in digital prototyping processes, complex shape engineering and material properties. Major clients such as Irisbus, Daimler, Chrysler, General Motor, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, benefit from this transition of knowledge. Ongoing projects were finalized on time and on budget. As planned, STYL&TECH’s skills increased the value of those products and thereby ensured commercial success.
The name STYL&TECH was chosen to reflect our new 3D product development vision, by using 3D CAD and 3D laser scanning technologies to create 3D shareable models, while simultaneously remodelling the product using STYLING TECHNIQUES (industrial designers) and simulations (mechanical engineers). This synergy defines our 3D digital prototyping processes.
STYL&TECH develops, maintains and updates its 3D digital prototyping database. Our investment in research and development by simulating and analyzing diverse product performances, properties and fabrication processes help STYL&TECH convert the artisan working process know-how into 3D digital prototyping processes. This competitive advantage translates to product development time savings of 30% to 40%, thereby offering our clients cutting-edge value in product development projects.
STYL&TECH’s knowledge, combined with our 3D technologies is now even more powerful. Our team is at the forefront of such technology. We started with the trusted Faro Laser Scan Arm for precision reverse engineering and inspection needs. We have since acquired the Surphaser 25HSX, a new, fast and precise large-scale 3D laser scanning system. This opened up new applications and benefits to us and, by extension, our clients.
Hence, STYL&TECH is a skilled product development team devoted to teaming up with clients to successfully carry out challenging projects. We are among the top design and engineering firms in North America, with an international network of suppliers in all product development activities.
Since 2003, we have continued developing our 3D digital prototyping expertise in several industry activities such as aerospace, transportation (truck, metro & train), motorsports, electronic devices and medical equipment.
