The WW Technology team works closely with clients to test the process on various materials and develop applications. Our main assets are several years of experience, developed skills and know-how in the context of the WoodWelding® technology as well as an established global network of industry partners.
A typical client relationship usually develops as follows:
We offer an overview of the WoodWelding
® technology on this website. For more information, please contact us via e-mail at:

presentation and demonstration
A more detailed presentation of the technology as well as a demonstration of the WoodWelding® process are offered through a visit to our development labs in Biel, Switzerland. We require that the interested party signs a standard confidentiality agreement.
"proof-of-principle" tests
We perform initial tests using the client's materials and produce a so-called "proof-of-principle" report. Test projects usually require 2-3 weeks and cost CHF 5'000 - 15'000 per phase.
Provided that the test phase produces positive results, we begin full-scale application development. Application development is usually split into 2-4 phases with defined milestones. The result will be an application solution ready for pre-production. Application projects last anywhere from 6-18 months (depending on type and complexity of the project).
A license contract will be drafted in parallel with the development project. The final contract will regulate the geographical market, application area etc. of the customer's use of the WoodWelding® technology once the product or application has been launched in the market. The license contractual partner will be WoodWelding SA, as the owner of the IPR and know-how concerning the WoodWelding® technology.
