The Product Development Technology Station (PDTS) is involved in product design, prototyping and short run production. We develop new ideas into products, or improve existing products with detailed engineering, in this way we support businesses and individuals through the entire new product development process.

The station makes use of first-class engineering expertise from Central University of Technology (CUT), as well as specialized prototyping equipment from the Centre for Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (CRPM).

Funded by the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), we assist SMMEs in becoming globally competitive by providing them with the technological support they need to design and manufacture innovative new products.

This information allows tracking of the object during inventory management and warehousing. PDTS designed and developed the enclosure.
