increase the value added of its products by innovating (Innovation
Network) generating design capacities (Design Center) and to
provide the means for the firms to implement its ideas through a
facility capable fabricate prototypes at real costs (Fabrication
Laboratory).
Objective
Main Topic : Establishment of a Design Center and Fabrication
Laboratory to enhance the innovation capacity of the metal
fabrication small medium firms of the State. Topics

State of Chihuahua(2) – Overview
Population 1. 3.4 million habitants
2. 3.04 % of the country
3. 85 % urban
Economy 1. GDP 3.26 % of the
national

State of Chihuahua(3) – Metal Mechanical Industry
Though there is the maquiladora sector with international standards including know
how and equipment, the majority of the local firms are only able to sell in the local
markets due to the lack of technology.
Chihuahua in one of the main employers in the metal mechanic sector, however the
production and value added of the State are small, indicating a low productivity in the
sector.

II. Korea’s Similar Experiences
Related Korean Experience(2) - Metal mechanical SME
Automobile
Module
Parts
Infra: Mold, Casting, Forging, Heat, Machining
SME
Automobile industry and Metal hot rolling are focused on the 3 Largest companies (CR3:
Automobile 90%, Hot rolling 80%). CR3 of car body parts 15%, Automobile parts 14%,
Cutting and surface treating of metal 30% is low.
SME of Korean metal mechanical industry were supplying mechanical parts to Large
companies (dependency 80%). The low profit 1/3 and low salary 1/2 compared to large
companies.
Korean and local governments have been supporting SME by technology development
funding and engineer education programs.

local universities and supported each center $5 million to buy expensive equipment used
by SME.
GNU TIC is specialized on metal forging and powder metallurgy process

Case Percent Reasons of success and failure
Success 20
-Independent space, isolated from main campus
-located at the center of Industrialized area
-Equipment necessary both for industry and university
-Professional leader with enthusiastic staffs
-Successive connecting programs or projects
-Much investment supported by local government
Failure 80
-Broad specific fields
-Spreaded placement of equipment
-Equipment only for university or only for industry
-Amateur personnel or staffs who had not stayed long for the TIC
-No incentive for involved professors
The TIC are established and operated by govern support in the university and some of
them are closed or difficult to be operated when government supporting was stopped.
SME using TIC equipment low price get more profits and wines at the market the other
SME that using expensive equipment

Cyber Design Center developed Cyber Engineer U24 supports SME manufacturing process CAE service on the website.
The casting, heat treatment, plastic injection and metal forging simulation software developed in Korea are used for manufacturing process analysis.

III. Policy Recommendations
Suggestion to Chihuahua(1) – Government
20
Short term
The infra of metal mechanical industry is too week. The number of SME should be increased by supporting fund. The companies will become the infra of metal mechanical industries.
Government should guarantee the bank space and equipment loan of SME.
Local government should support the FAB lab operation cost and research funding to support local companies.
Long term
Government prepare master plane to develop SME.
Support SME research funds to develop manufacturing technology by the help of research center and university.
Suggestion to Chihuahua(2) – Design center
21
Short term
Design Center does manufacturing process simulation & analysis service to improve fabrication technology of SME.
The CAE software required to Design Center is donated by Korea. Z-cast (casting simulation), AFDX (Forging simulation) ect.
The professors and students learn donated Z-cast and AFDX and do simulation service.
Long term
In the future, Design Center does engineering design service by CAD/CAE software with CAD/CAE software existing at Technological Park.
Development Companies : MFRC, CubicTech, KITECH, VMTech
AFDEX Z-Stamp MAPS-3D Z-CAST
I-Master V-CNC
Suggestion to Chihuahua(3) – Fabrication Lab
22
Next step
Fabrication Lab needs additional operation costs for related special tools and CAD/CAM software required to use the fabrication equipment.
The operator should be trained well and get good salary because the stable running of equipment is important.
In case of Korea, the equipment and operation costs are fully supported by government but Fabrication Lab of Chihuahua should independent by himself at the beginning.
Short term
The private company should use the equipment to make profit and keep for the future operation and repairing costs.
Suggestion to Chihuahua(4) – Fabrication Lab
23
Long term
Fabrication Lab starts public fabrication service to other SME.
The co-work of Fabrication Lab and other local SMEs do casting, forging, forming, heat treat, grinding, EDM, coating, die-molding process is essential to fabricate a metal part and supply to international company.
If you success to develop prototype, the mass production with Die & Mold should be fallowed to increase productivity and decrease cost. The cooperation of Korean mold companies strong to develop new mold and Mexican companies strong to setup and repair it will make successful mass production in long term.
