Our customer, Farm Vet’, needed a new operating table for middle sized animals. Our task was to find an efficient way to meet the main need of the project: being able to elevate 350 kg. Our solution was to modify a hospital bed to the dimensions of the client’s request. Some steel rods were...

In addition to the operating table, Farm Vet needed a boot-washer. This custom made solution required some particular design to fit in a tight space. A structural analysis ensured that the system would hold the charge of the user. An anti-splashing function helped protecting the user from unwanted stains....

Development of the structural protective casing for the high performance battery cells (circa 70kg). Challenges were strict competition requirements about safety, integration into the tube frame chassis, quick accessibility to recharge batteries out of the car. First phase involved the coaching of 2 students during the design phase (materials, manufacturing methods, suppliers, etc). The...

Design and study for an external staircase (2 stories). Galvanized steel structure, industrial design, delivered in small sections for easy assembly in an environment with difficult access. Assessment of the feasibility, detailed design, anchoring solutions on the ground and onto the existing building. Project remained on offer stage....

Development of a custom BMX bike frame for a local team. The goal was the production of approx 10 units. The proposed concept was a unique design that fits all riders. 3D design was made in collaboration with team members to capture most of the personal inputs. Material sourcing was a challenge since CrMo...

M3 project is a competition drift car built around a BMW E30 chassis. The challenge here was the replacement of suspension arms by a newer BMW model onto the older chassis. Replacing the steel arms by longer aluminum alloy arms. The solution required the possibility for caster adjustment and rigid ball joints....

In view of its development activities of optical components for the European space market, Micos Engineering GmbH build a measurement system to determine the bidirectional scattering distribution functions of diffractive components and to measure the stray light they generate. Guilain conducted during his internship with the Micos team the design, assembly and qualification activities...

As an active participant to the design and validation of the Exomars rover, RUAG Space had developed a simulation tool for planetary rovers. This parametric tool was based on analytical solutions to ensure an optimal computing efficiency. It used a “quasi-static” approach to simulate the physics providing accurate results for very low-speed rovers. Now,...
