Sustainable Growth: our Path for Radiate Engineering & Design

In today’s rapidly evolving world, the role of engineering and design has become more crucial than ever. As professionals in these fields, we have the power to shape the future and make a positive impact on society. But how we approach growth matters greatly.

For us, growth at all costs is no measure of success for a company.

Instead, at Radiate Engineering & Design we focus on “healthy” or sustainable growth, and for good reason.

It ensures that we achieve our goals while not over-pacing and nurturing knowledge and (human) resources.

You can read more about our “growth” philosophy in this portrait from Valiant Bank AG.

A Boost for More Sustainability in the Bicycle Industry

How can we make the cycling industry more sustainable?

During the last edition of Cycle Week Zurich, we had the privilege of hosting a thought-provoking workshop on “More Sustainability in the Bicycle Industry” in cooperation with Milani Design & Consulting AG at our office in Zurich. The event brought together 10 enthusiastic minds who shared their ideas and insights.

We delved into crucial topics like the longevity and responsible disposal of bicycles, aiming to explore ways to make this eco-friendly mode of transport even more sustainable. For us, the workshop offered a unique opportunity to get going as a team instead of working separately on our own. More of this is needed, especially in the Bicycle Industry.

A huge thanks to all the participants for their active engagement and contribution to this successful event. We believe that by collaborating and sharing knowledge, we can drive positive change in the industry.

 

Launching the UAV Division & Accelerating Innovation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

We are very proud to announce that as of today, Radiate Engineering & Design is launching the UAV Division, a special service unit dedicated to advancing the design, engineering, and certification of lightweight Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

With the global civil drone market projected to reach nearly $56 billion by 2030, the UAV Division aims to capitalize on this emerging industry’s vast potential. Leveraging Switzerland’s expertise in UAV technology and its strong academic foundation, Radiate Engineering & Design offers comprehensive services, including aerodynamic and structural optimization, simulation-driven engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, certification support, and business development.

The UAV Division is led by Timothy Habermacher, a seasoned expert in the UAV industry and mechanical engineering. About the idea behind the UAV Division, he says:
“Our ultimate objective is to guide our clients from concept to production, fostering innovation and empowering their ideas to take flight.”

“And above all else, we just love to see the ideas of our customers take flight”, he adds.

Check out the services of the UAV Division directly on our website – or take the comprehensive assessment about UAV product development if you are a UAV business and would like to know more about how to accelerate your product development.

New Project for Positrigo AG

The NeuroLF from Positrigo AG is an ultra-compact brain Positron Emission Tomography system. The technology offers precision medicine and makes functional imaging accessible for people worldwide.

We are very happy that Positrigo has contracted Radiate Engineering & Design to design and develop structurally loaded complex components for the NeuroLF using FEM, based on existing technical requirements and geometric constraints.

We are excited about the project and are looking forward to starting it!

Meet Edouard Tarter, our newest team member

We are happy to welcome Edouard Tarter to the RADIATE team!

With a background in Mechanical Engineering, Machine Learning and Adaptive Composite Structures, Edouard enjoys the interdisciplinary challenges and fusion of different talents that come with working in product development and innovation. He balances his work and personal life by enjoying each separately, and unwinds by being spontaneous with hobbies such as DIY projects, working out, and even jumping into Zurich lake from a 10m loading crane!

If you want to know more about Edouard, check out our interview with him in the “Behind the Scenes” section on our website.

Workshop on Sustainability in the Bike Industry

We all know that the bicycle is an environmentally friendly means of transportation, but there is always room for improvement in terms of materials, production, durability and disposal. That’s why Radiate Engineering & Design is hosting a workshop on “Sustainability in the Bike Industry” – together with the sustainability experts from Milani Design – on 11 May during the Cycle Week that takes place in Zurich.

True to the motto “listen to the customer”, we want to collect ideas, wishes and opinions on how the bicycle industry could be given a sustainability boost. Our workshop offers the opportunity to find innovative solutions. Together, we will exchange ideas on these topics and develop ideas on how to promote sustainability in the bicycle industry.

Registration for the workshop (limited seats!) is open at the Cycle Week website.

New Project for SoFlow

The Swiss tech company SoFlow has been promoting micro-mobility since 2015 with high-quality e-scooters. With sales of more than 200,000 e-scooters, they feel encouraged to drive development and sales further in the next years. Even the investors from the Swiss TV show ‘Die Höhle der Löwen’ recognised the potential: at CHF 1.3 million, SoFlow got the biggest deal in the history of the TV show!

We are thrilled to announce that Radiate Engineering & Design has been assigned to a first project with SoFlow. As a leading engineering company, we are excited to collaborate with SoFlow in developing cutting-edge technology that will push the boundaries of micro-mobility.

We are looking forward to bringing our expertise and experience to the table and working closely with the team at SoFlow to create technology that is not only functional but also stylish and environmentally friendly. With this collaboration, we aim to make micro-mobility more accessible and convenient for people, and we believe that this partnership will take us a step closer to achieving our shared vision.
