Do you need precision work expertise in your product development project?
Innovation Collaboration
Collaboration with our Micromechanics Department differs from a typical training agreement period or client work conducted within the school’s learning environment.
In the innovation collaboration method, the school’s personnel leads the project as student work, in cooperation with the client. This operational model enables micromechanical development work, especially when the company lacks resources in micromechanics or joining techniques.
Often, especially in high-tech startups, there may not be an existing micromechanics expert available within the company. Therefore, it can be challenging to involve a student from a new field in projects.
Examples of innovation collaboration projects:
- Ideation, conceptualization, and prototype manufacturing
- Development of a production method or tool for new or existing assembly work
- Quality improvement projects
An agreement on innovation collaboration is made between the company and the Foundation for the Advancement of Watchmaking Skills.
Client Work in the School’s Learning Environment
The Micromechanics Department of the Finnish School of Watchmaking can undertake the production and assembly of single pieces and small series. We are happy to explore collaboration possibilities!
Training Agreements and Apprenticeships
A student carries out a product development project together with their workplace supervisor. This model requires intensive guidance from a workplace supervisor skilled in micromechanics. The teacher visits the workplace and plans the competence objectives and demonstrations together with the workplace supervisor. Typically, the student has 8 weeks to complete the product development project.
