History

1992: almost 30 years of experience

The company history reaches long before 2008 when it was established. Since 1992 Petr Halaška has run business in plastics processing and injection molding, design of plastic parts and injection molds and quality management of plastic parts for automotive industry.

Petr started his „plastics“ experience in the 80’s when he worked in research and development of shoemaking company Svit in Zlin.

1997 – 2003: Academic career

Petr worked at the Department of Production Engineering of the Technological faculty of Tomas Bata University in Zlin.

There he did research and lecturing in injection process modelling, design of plastic parts and injection molds and structural analyses.

2008: Smartplast established

All knowledge and experience became useful in 2008 when Smartplast s.r.o. was established at the Technological Centre of Tomas Bata University in Zlin.

The company dealt with injection molding simulation and Moldflow software sales and support and later education in plastics processing and injection molding started. As the work volume grew the current team was formed – apart from Petr Halaška Olga Žmolíková, Martin Sklář, Lubomír Josefík and Marie Klečková.

2009: Autodesk Partner

Smartplast became a Partner of Autodesk® for authorized sales of Moldflow® software in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

We provide simulation analyses of injection molded plastic parts. Quantity and complexity of plastic parts applied in automotive industry has been growing and there is more and more emphasize on product quality planning, sharing data of its development between teams in different parts of the world, product inovation and optimization of production costs.

Simulation analyses are the best way to meet such requests. We provide analyses made with CAE software Autodesk Moldflow Insight Ultimate that enables deep analyses of thermoplastics as well as thermosets.

Based on the results of injection molding process analysis showing inhomogeneities (weld lines, voids, fibre orientation) originating from the injection molding process we are able to optimize injection molding parameters and provide structural analyses of plastic parts and correct their technological design.

You can also buy software Autodesk Moldflow from us as an authorized Autodesk partner for Czech Republic and Slovakia.

2017-2018: Simulia Abaqus and a new company site

More services at one site – from now we also provide structural analyses made with Simulia Abaqus software.

And another important step in 2018 – we moved our company to a new site in Zlin Podhori.
