Use Cases

We were commissioned to develop the world’s fastest wheelchair for the Olympics in Tokyo. We used state-of-the-art CFD simulations, wind tunnel tests, 3D printing in plastic and metal as well as the latest knowledge in carbon production to build the OT FOXX M1 with which Marcel Hug won four Olympic gold medals.

The development of modern hydropower plants poses major challenges for industry. In addition to complex CFD calculations, model tests are also used. Together with our customer, we have perfectly adapted the model building process and optimised it for additive manufacturing using plastic 3D printing.

There are only two original Ferrari 340 America Barchetta in the world. In one of these legendary vehicles, the rear axle transmission broke. We had the pleasure of manufacturing the necessary spare part for our customer using metal 3D printing in AlSi10Mg and our internal mechanical production system, allowing the legend to take to the road and the racetrack once again.

Grimme’s Airsep system is one of the biggest innovations in potato harvesting technology. It separates the potatoes from the straw and stones while still on the harvester. Grimme contacted us with the challenge of optimizing the Airsep system.
Using CFD simulations and analyses, we significantly improved the Airsep system by making it lighter and more energy efficient.

The Ironman in Kona, Hawaii, is one of the greatest challenges the sport of triathlon has to offer. Together with the bike manufacturer Canyon and our colleagues from Swiss SIDE, we have developed for Patrik Lange an aerodynamically optimized handlebar stem, a so-called aero cockpit, and produced it using additive metal manufacturing in titanium.

Wenn in der Blechbearbeitung geschnitten wird, dann sind Laser im Spiel. Diese Laser erzeugen im Schneidbereich eine enorme Hitze, die gekühlt werden muss. Um diese Kühlung zu gewährleisten, hat unser Kunde Bystronic einen eigens dafür entwickelten Laserschneidkopf kreiert. Wir fertigen diesen in 3D-Metall-Druck.
