Since the birth of Radiate, prototyping is in our DNA, incorporated in a simulation driven engineering approach. Due to the limited size of the current CNC workhorse, Radiate recently acquired a new, larger CNC milling machine, which enables us to prototype and manufacture larger parts such as tooling molds, aluminium or steel parts up to sizes of 2m x 1m. With its gantry build, the machine from the german Company BZT is incredibly accurate for its size and can handle high acceleration and speed in order to increase efficiency. We are excited to be able to offer further manufacturing capacities for our customers!

We are happy to announce that our client RigiTech has, in collaboration with Leonardo and Telespazio, made history in Italy recently by performing long-range drone-based deliveries of healthcare material between two hospitals near Rome’s Fiumicino airport.  The RigiOne, the first generation drone with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) has made this possible several consecutive times in a safe, fast and reliable manner.

A full video of the flight can be seen here:

In a recent interview, Timothy Habermacher explained the cooperation with our friends from Project Circleg, highlighting the importance of an interdisciplinary approach between designers and engineers. As a consulting partner, Radiate has supported the team of Project Circleg in structural questions and challenges in the field of FEM simulation and optimization as well as design for manufacturing aspects of the prosthetic system.

Radiate Engineering & Design is happy to welcome two new team members!

First up is Mr. Jan Schenker, a talented CFD Simulation Engineer with a lot of experience in the aerodynamics at the highest level of motorsport, the Formula 1. There, he learned to push the boundaries of technology to maximize the performance. A lesson he will put to good use for the ambitious projects waiting for him at Radiate.

Secondly – and also with a background in the automobile sector – Mr. Gleb Kopylov joins Radiate as a Mechanical Engineer. Gleb honed his skills of CAD and FEA by designing and improving components for light sport aircrafts at CSA and by developing strength and failure analyses of elevator components at Schindler. He also worked as a System Engineer at Volkswagen Slovakia.

In their free time, both Jan and Gleb like to ride their bikes and spend time in the outdoors – needless to say, both activities go very well with the Radiate team.

Radiate welcomes the two new members and wishes them well with their efforts.

On behalf of COVID-19, we are continuously monitoring the developments and circumstances surrounding the outbreak and are working on solutions to avoid disruption to our service wherever possible. As of now, the RADIATE-team remains fully operational and working!

Our top priority is to ensure the health and safety of our employees, customers, and suppliers while delivering on our service promises. Therefore, RADIATE has implemented a set of measures and guidelines to minimize risks to employees and customers.

This includes:
–Encouraging employees to learn about COVID-19 and immediately consult a physician if they feel unwell.
–Inform employees about symptoms of the virus and methods for prevention and detection.
– In particular, we remind our employees of good hygiene practices such as regular hand washing and strict adherence to social distancing guidelines.
–Extend the use of home office and teleworking where operationally and technically possible.
