Development of product innovation by "Heat Design" Ltd.

This project proposal is aimed at developing an innovative software product that is a complex solution enabling manufacturing companies of all sizes to automate and maximally quickly create and manage their product range in 3D photo-realistic objects - on-line catalog with unlimited number of three-dimensional industrial products delivered to end-users, via an intuitive user interface to change, customize, and order configurable products, even if a product sample does not exist. The software provides automation for accepting and processing customer-configured end products by submitting them directly to ERP software without the need for human intervention. The project will be implemented in partnership with the Research and Development and Innovation Consortium under Sofia Tech Park. The proposed innovation falls within the thematic area "ICT and Informatics" by ISSS in the "3D Digitalization, Visualization and Prototyping" direction, which is a priority for the southwestern planning region, where the software product will be developed. The product is intended for manufacturing companies specializing in items such as apparel and shoes, which sell part of their production through on-line platforms and stores. The main costs associated with the project implementation and innovation development are related to: recruitment of 6 qualified experts who will be responsible for the innovation development process; the purchase of 3D design software and 18 month licenses for three specialized software; rental expenses for a high-performance cluster system; purchase of hardware; and consultancy services needed for the development of the innovative product. The category of the research in the project falls under the regime "industrial research" and the level of technological readiness of the product at the end of the project will be TRL6.
