We simply sign a&nbsp;short agreement together, the client adds a&nbsp;declaration of honor, and we handle the entry into the de minimis register ourselves.

Companies can also come to us to try 3D printing their own products \u2013 whether prototypes or small series \u2013 and de minimis funding can be applied here as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which companies is this suitable for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main rule is not to exceed the support limit over the last three fiscal years, which is \u20ac300,000 (about CZK 7.5 million). If the company or related entities \u2013 such as sister or subsidiary companies \u2013 have already received support in other ways (e.g., through other projects or grants), that\u2019s fine; it just needs to be added up and checked that the limit is not exceeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does it work in practice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You contact us \u2013 ideally with an idea or problem you\u2019re addressing. We\u2019ll look at what we can do, whether de minimis can be applied, and in what amount. Usually, the amounts involved don\u2019t limit the companies in any way. We prepare the contract, guide you through the process, and take care of most of the paperwork.
