Company History
“Karfidov Lab” was formed in 2010 as an unofficial student movement at NUST “MISiS” . Since the founding of "Karfidov Lab" has been involved in the development of industrial and scientific projects of the institute, has twice won prizes at the CAD-OLYMP Olympiad.
In April 2014, the company "Karfidov Lab" was officially registered, in September 2015 - received the status of the collective use center "Skolkovo" [3] [4] . In March 2016, the company opened a separate representative office in Yekaterinburg. The main direction of the Ural office is the development and digitization of design documentation for ESKD [5] . In 2017, the annual turnover of Karfidov Lab amounted to 50 million rubles [6] . In 2018, the company opened a branch in St. Petersburg [6] and Gear corporation, a subsidiary in the United States.
Projects
Among the developments of “Karfidov Lab” is a test bench for printed circuit boards of “smart bracelets” [7] [8] , a coffee machine for a car [9] , and a case for a 3D printer for printing with reinforced plastics [10] [11] .
The company also participates in the creation of dual-use products, in particular, it carries out: the development of a cable connector for military equipment [12] , the design of the housing of the radar antenna unit for the fleet [13] [14] and the design of an industrial exoskeleton.
Engineers of Karfidov Lab optimized existing and developed new sports equipment for the obstacle course ANO "Race of Heroes" , collaborated with the company "Cognitive Technologies" in the project to develop an automatic truck [15] .
