Core offering

MTA operates as a one-stop mechatronics factory and first-tier supplier, delivering Build-to-Spec development, industrialization, and series production (Build-to-Print) of high-tech mechatronic systems for OEMs, scale-ups, and start-ups. The company manages the full realization trajectory—from concept and architecture through engineering, assembly, testing, and after-sales—across verticals including agrobotics, industrial 3D printing, semiconductor back-end, packaging automation, and medical robotics.

Product overview

MTA operates as a one-stop mechatronics factory offering three integrated service lines — Development (Build-to-Spec), Industrialization, and Series Production (Build-to-Print) — for high-tech mechatronic systems. The company serves OEMs, scale-ups, and start-ups across four vertical markets: Agrobotics, Industrial 3D printing, Semiconductor Back-end, and Packaging Automation. MTA's proprietary V² model integrates product development and production design synchronously, reducing time-to-market and series production costs. Key documented customer products manufactured or co-developed include the AM Vision 2.0 vision and sorting system (for 3D printing quality control), MetalFAB1 modules (for Additive Industries' industrial metal 3D printer), SPGPrints Rotary Screen Units (for rotary screen printing), Priva Kompano delimbing robot (autonomous greenhouse robotics), VSP-P1 NanoPrinter (nanoparticle synthesis for green hydrogen), Vitestro blood collection device (autonomous medical robotics), Musa-3 microsurgery robot (for Microsure), and the Sparter selective asparagus harvester (for Cerescon).
