GDTech was originally created to provide services in the field of numerical analysis. Very quickly, GDTech diversified its services. Currently, GDTech’s services address the full process of product development, which includes the design (CAD), the design validation using numerical simulation, the manufacturing methodes and the design of associated tools and fixtures, the manufacturing (CAM), the product testing, the product certification …With more than 25 years’ experience, GDTech has developed a subcontracting model focused on the quality of its services. These services can be performed internally or on customer site.

Profile Description

Located in Belgium and in France, GDTech has over 180 employees, 50% of whom have more than 15 years of experience. The offer of services covers a wide range of activity areas: aeronautics, defense, naval, transportation, space, medical devices, …

The synergies developed between the different offices guarantee a great responsiveness.

During the last two years, GDTech has been consolidating expertise in an emerging technology:  Additive Manufacturing.

This new technology is recently gaining popularity, breathing new life into another discipline not very well-known before: Topology Optimization.

This design freedom is however not limitless, and a list of best-practice rules can be deduced.  “Design for Additive Manufacturing” (DfAM) replaces the more classical “Design for Manufacturing”.  GDTech has developped over time quite a large expertise on this specific topic.

Once a part is ready to be printed, one must still make sure that the printing job itself will be a success, and one can even optimize the corresponding manufacturing strategy (supports and process parameters).  GDTech makes use of AM simulation tools in order to virtually print a part and anticipate potential issues.
