GALGA ACADEMY · TRAINING AND RESEARCH

We train the quality technicians industry is going to need.

We bring into the classroom what happens every day on the shop floor: 3D models with PMI, geometric tolerances, PPAP and CMMs. For vocational schools, universities, technology institutes and industry associations.

Who it is for

Four ways to work together.

Vocational training

Manufacturing and moulding classrooms

Mechanical manufacturing, polymer moulding and related courses. Students practise on the real workflow: from 3D model to dimensional report.

University

Engineering and metrology

Research licence for bachelor’s and master’s projects and PhD theses, with proposed topics, test parts and technical supervision from practising engineers.

Technology institutes

Applied R&D

Joint projects on model-based definition, metrology and dimensional quality.

Associations and clusters

Events and workshops

Hands-on workshops for members and free material to share: PPAP guide, glossary and documented cases.

What we offer

Tool, material and know-how. At no cost to the institution.

Classroom

Educational licence

Free per academic year, no commercial use. Reports carry an “educational use” mark.

Research

Research licence

Free for the duration of the bachelor’s or master’s project or the thesis, in exchange for sharing the results and citing GALGA.

45 minutes

Talk or workshop

“From 3D model to dimensional report”, on site or remotely, with exercises on public parts.

Free

Class material

The PPAP guide, the glossary with examples and the templates, ready to use.

How it works

From the first call to published results.

  1. 1

    We talk

    A 20-minute conversation to understand your subject or your line of research.

  2. 2

    We agree

    A short agreement, one or two pages: licences, use of results and agreed publication.

  3. 3

    You test

    With public parts and a common protocol. The lecturer or the student measures, not us.

  4. 4

    We share

    A results report and, if you agree, a joint publication.

Industry challenges, in the classroom

Real problems, turned into exercises and projects.

When a company brings us a challenge and the case allows it, we redesign it with equivalent parts and no customer data so the class works on a real problem. Associations can propose challenges from their members.

Open test protocol

The same criteria at every institution. The results are yours.

Public NIST parts and parts designed for teaching, never customer parts. We measure manual time versus GALGA, correct characteristics under the published criterion (type, nominal, tolerance and datums) and ease of use. The institution obtains the results: that is why they are independent.

Proposed bachelor’s and master’s project topics

To start researching from day one.

  • Validation of automatic PMI extraction against the manual method on injection-moulded parts.
  • Comparison of GD&T reading across formats: STEP AP242, JT and 3D PDF.
  • From 3D model to CMM program with QIF: workflow and benefits.
  • Automatic design of inspection fixtures from the part model.

Have another topic in mind? We will look into it with you.

Our commitment to institutions

Clear rules from day one.

Ownership

To each their own

The student’s work belongs to the student. If we publish it, we cite it.

Publication

Always agreed

Nothing is published without the institution’s approval.

Data

Zero customer data

Only public parts or parts designed for teaching are used in the classroom.

People

Students protected

Never names or photos without permission, and with special care for minors.

Contact

Let’s talk about your classroom or your research.

Tell us what you teach or research, and we will propose the collaboration that fits best. An engineer replies within 24 hours. We are opening our first collaborations.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost for an educational institution?

Nothing. The educational licence is free per academic year and the research licence for the duration of the work. We only ask that it is not used for commercial purposes and that GALGA is cited if results are published.

Are customer parts used in the classroom?

Never. The classroom only works with public parts, such as the NIST ones, or parts designed by GALGA for teaching.

Born in Valencia

Fast as a greyhound. Exact as a gauge.

GALGA was born in Valencia, in the automotive industry. It was built by design and production engineers with more than twenty years in moulds, injection moulding, gauges and dimensional inspection. Every launch started the same way: the customer’s 3D model, hundreds of dimensions and someone typing them into a spreadsheet by hand. We built it so we could stop doing that.

  • 20+years across moulds, injection moulding and dimensional inspection
  • 0made-up dimensions: anything doubtful is flagged

The galgo

The galgo, the Spanish greyhound: fast when it counts, calm and dependable the rest of the time. Minutes where there used to be hours, without the rush that leads to mistakes.

The gauge

On the shop floor, the galga (Spanish for gauge) is the reference master every part is compared against. GALGA is that for your data: one single reference for everyone.

Shop-floor rigour and a human touch.

  • An engineer replies. A real person who knows the trade, not a bot, within 24 hours.
  • No small print. Published prices and clear terms from day one.
  • Your files, protected. With the licence they never leave your company; with the service, an NDA and documented deletion.

Licence: 7 days free, no card required, with a sample part so you can get started in a minute. Service: we sign an NDA, you send us a part number and within 48 hours you have the package, reviewed.
