Additive Manufacturing has reached a turning point. In the meantime, it has become a disruptive technology whose capabilities and price points, especially in the area of development projects, have long since become competitive with “classical” production methods. While the moment and magnitude of impact varies with the nature of the product and production processes, it […]

Together with the Schindler R&D team under the leadership of Volker Zapf, Radiate Engineering carried out an innovation workshop at Schindler. With around 10 participants, ideas for the improvement of the Schindler systems were developed during an afternoon. Various tools and techniques from the fields of applied improvisation and design thinking were used. Radiate thanks […]
On October 5, Radiate Engineering received approx. 30 guests for a Business Apéro at their office in Zurich. There was a lively exchange alongside oriental fingerfood, beer and wine. A highlight was surely the presentation of a prototype of the Deldro AG, represented by Reto Büttner. The innovative delivery drone was developed in cooperation with […]
CADFEM (Suisse) AG is one of the pioneers of the application of numerical simulation in product development and one of the largest European suppliers of computer-aided engineering, as well as long-standing sales partner of the leading software producer ANSYS, Inc. As part of a collaboration, CADFEM and Radiate will jointly carry out consulting projects in […]
Environment-conscious action and thinking has become quite important in recent years. The team around the ETH Zurich engineers from “ftero” has set itself the goal of developing an Airborne Wind Energy System – from the idea to an optimized prototype. The students show with their project that the questions of the future energy supply can not […]
The use of carbon in the bike industry means maximum lightness on two wheels, but the application possibilities of composites are far from exhausted. So what is the state of the art in the bicycle industry and the innovative power of the composites industry? This question is addressed at the first-ever forum “Composites in the Bicycle […]
The new cable railway in Stoos is the steepest cable car in the world, with up to 110% gradient. It takes you up to the Bergdorf Stoos at around 1300 m above sea level. In only 3 1/2 minutes it will transport locals and tourists alike to the Stoos mountain and back into the valley. The technical […]
Logistics & Distribution is the national industry event in Switzerland for intralogistics, distribution and e-logistics. At this year’s show, a group of companies, including Radiate Engineering, successfully presented a new concept for a Swiss cargo drone. The concept was developed in cooperation with the companies AirRails, HS Composite und WiDV under the leadership of the Schweizerischer Verband Ziviler Drohnen (SVZD). […]
Worldwide and also in Switzerland the community which cultivates the open exchange of knowledge is growing. Professional open-innovation platforms such as Atizo, or the FabLab for the maker community were recently established. The philosophy of open-prototyping or open innovation is consciously delimited by the usual closed development processes, whose “exclusivity” by Schumpeter in 1942 was called […]
