Numeric control engraving
After a visit in 1988 to the Industrial Fair in Hannover made by a representative from Saiolan, a method was detected, which although generalised in Europe, it was new and barely applied in Spain: Numerical Control engraving systems.
This way Saiolan and the University of Mondragón begin research on a CNC engraving system and identify a business opportunity in the industrial sector, based on the fact that most companies had stated to have a requirement for these types of services.
Parallel to this, the future was in information technology; that is, in CAD/CAM.
