The development of TECHNODAT technologies from the first CAD systems to modern digital engineering
History of TECHNODAT

Technologies change. Trust is built over decades.

From the first CAD/CAM/CAE solutions to a connected digital enterprise.

Since 1992, we have been helping industrial companies translate new technologies into everyday practice, accelerate development, and connect technical data, production, and business processes.

Our story since 1992

Technologies change. Trust is built over decades.

We started at a time when 3D design was just a promise of the future for many companies. Today we connect development, simulations, technical data, production, electrical design, and business processes.

Our history is therefore not just a list of dates. It is proof that we can recognize technologies that will advance the industry and translate them into the everyday practice of our customers.

NEXT CHAPTER

The future does not write itself

It is created in our customers' projects through faster development, more confident decisions, and processes that function as a whole.

A project that took flight

F-Bike was not just an impressive visualization. It really flew.

In 2012, Czech companies TECHNODAT, Evektor, and Duratec joined forces with the support of Dassault Systèmes. The digital design was created in the 3DEXPERIENCE environment, and by 2013, the technological demonstrator actually took off in the hall. For TECHNODAT, F-Bike remains a reminder that a virtual model has the greatest value when it stands up to reality.

TECHNODAT today
What customers gain from it

We do not sell yesterday's experience. We use it for your tomorrow's decisions.

A long history makes sense only when it reduces the risk of the next project. Thanks to experience across technologies and industries, we can distinguish trends from solutions that will work in the long run.

Stable partner

For implementation, further development of solutions, and long-term technical support.

Know-how across technologies

From design and simulations to production and technical data to ERP.

Local teams, European reach

Experts in the Czech Republic and Slovakia with the support of European partners.

Real-world experience

We know industrial processes and collaborate with leading technology partners.

The greatest milestone is not an award or a new product. It is the moment when technology truly begins to help the customer.
