FROM ARCHITECTURE TO SATISFACTION

OUR PRODUCTION RUN

Scoping

The basis for every project is set-up in cooperation with our customers. Beforehand the entire surrounding and basis is carefully evaluated to set specifications together jointly with the customer. A detailed understanding of the whole order is needed for a precise project estimation and controlling. A major parameters is the ratio between functionality and aesthetic design.

Design Process

The most challenging part is the design process, where MDT’s creativity and know- how melts together. We aim to meet maximum standards with regard to technical and aesthetic aspects , regardless how challenging obstacles might be. This to be ensured by high ranking architects and engineers led by our creative director Enlai Hooi.

Engineering

By steadily developing new technical textiles, coatings, processes and high-tech materials, there are always new opportunities to use for our engineers. CAD visualizations are being created while 3 D formfinding programmes, which are responsible for the perfect textile cut, provide " guaranteed to fit " membranes. For single umbrellas as well as for complex sun- and rain-protection systems.

Testing

The toughest stage remains the testing phase. Many years of experience enable us to realize prototypes rapidly in-house. Before first prototypes are build, we test them in virtual reality. The combination of specialized software programs simulates opening and closing procedures of complex rods and textiles. Test-parts may be produced with an in-house 3-D printer and CNC-router. We leave nothing to chance - except the weather.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing and assembling in work shops with 12m ceiling heights allow a fully controlled "in house" finishing of giant umbrellas , as several up to 25 ton cranes are ready to move and transport .This is the only way to meet highest demands.

Service

Our service competences are affected by the same preciseness than the production. Experienced employees control the installation and carry out regular maintenance work for installations – which we recommend for larger projects. MDT is capable to take care of our customers being satisfied with our products for a long time!

 

ADAPTIVE PROJECT ASSISTANCE

FLEXIBLE WORK IN A COHERENT FRAMEWORK

It is our intention to realize textile architecture at the highest stage within every project. Our design team creates individual idea books up front which allow us to communicate with our customers professionally. Flexible work patterns allow us to achieve maximum "know how" and communication transfer: by our highly motivated teams in the workshops or via webbased communication tools.

Whether individual engineering services, new developments or complete ,, design to built ,, projects. Our team of technicians and application experts will work with you to develop the most target-oriented solutions.

INSPIRATION BY TECHNIQUE

Creativity and delight in innovation are essential character traits of our company. MDT ´s philosophy has been to cultivate close cooperation with national and international research facilities, as well as developing it´s own " think tank " with international well reputed architects.
