New assignment for Tethys Robotics

/in /by

Tethys Robotics is a Zurich-based startup that develops innovative underwater robots to tackle tasks in challenging environments, focusing on omnidirectional maneuverability, modularity and easy deployability. Their vision is to push sub-sea exploration in Switzerland and beyond since this topic has not really been touched on in the past. As an industry partner, Radiate Engineering & Design will assist Tethys in designing and manufacturing for the Tethys River Robot. We are looking forward to this new assignment!

New Project for Tour de Suisse Rad AG

/in /by

It may be early in 2022 but there’s already a first new project coming up. We are very happy to announce that Radiate Engineering & Design teams up with Tour de Suisse Rad AG for the development and assessment of a new frame geometry. Tour de Suisse is a Swiss bicycle manufacturer from Kreuzlingen and is well known for its “à la Carte” system which allows the customer to put together his or her individual bike from a range of colours and equipment.

Before and after: the big office makeover

/in /by

One year ago, in January 2021, we were able to take a look at our future office and workshop space at Hohlstrasse 176 for the first time. At that time, it was not yet clear how exactly we would set up. Soon we made a plan and put it into action. A lot of work and effort went into it, but it was worth it. The difference in the photos between before and after shows it clearly – we are very happy in our new place!

A familiar face is new to the Team

/in /by

Radiate Engineering & Design is pleased to welcome a returnee. With immediate effect, Melanie Kuhn supports the team in the areas of production and administration. As an experienced technician, Melanie knows how to work with prepreg processing, laminating and vacuum technology. Due to her previous activities, Melanie also has a sound knowledge of administration, which is a very valuable addition to the team.

Melanie Kuhn has already worked for Radiate once and supported the two founders Frederic Poppenhäger and Timothy Habermacher in the production of prototypes of the full carbon wheel OOCYCLE in a very early phase. Some impressions of this are included in the production film which can be seen here.

Melanie comes from near Lucerne and, in addition to her work for Radiate Engineering & Design, she also works for the BeeYo company from Hochdorf, which, among other things, produces beeswax wipes as an alternative to aluminum or cling film and offers a delivery service for food and products from regional companies and farmers.

We extend a warm welcome to Melanie and wish her a successful start!

Radiate Startup Session

/in /by

Are you working in a Startup and facing engineering and design challenges for your physical product? We’re here to help you out!

Having once been a Startup ourselves, we know the challenges young companies face and how difficult it is to bring a product to the market.

That’s why we created the Radiate Startup Session to offer support to young up-and-coming entrepreneurs. In a free, one-hour session (roughly – we won’t stop until all your topics have been discussed), our engineering experts will discuss your challenges concerning product design, prototyping, design for manufacturing, production planning or industrialization.

We offer the Radiate Startup Session to all companies that are based in Switzerland, involved in physical product development and are not older than 5 years.

If that sounds interesting to you, please contact us!

Design Preis Schweiz

Project Circleg and Fotokite Sigma win the Design Prize Switzerland

/in /by

On Friday, 5 November 2021, the Design Preis Schweiz Edition 21 awards ceremony took place in Langenthal’s Markthalle. The biennial event was held for the 16th time and is considered to be the most important event for the Swiss design industry. The seven-member jury selected a total of 15 award winners from 36 nominations in nine categories.

We were pleased to see that 2 Radiate Engineering & Design customers were among the winners this year.

First, Project Circleg won in the category “Going Circular Economy” – Jury verdict: “With the help of a cleverly woven ecosystem, they have done everything right, considered everything and developed a convincing solution for all aspects of their complex task – a great achievement!”

Secondly,  Perspective Robotics won in the category “Product Investment” – As the jury put it: “The Fotokite Sigma proves to be an extremely useful tool for the emergency response of professional rescue workers, providing real-time aerial images of the scene. The design of the aircraft and its base station appears both practical and unpretentious.”

We feel privileged to be involved in both projects and are happy to continue to support Perspective Robotics and Project Circleg on their way!

Symposium Air Mobility 2021

Radiate Engineering & Design participated in the Symposium Air Mobility 2021 in Lucerne. The SAM21 was a networking event highlighting the importance of the Aerospace sector in Switzerland and the relevance of space & drone innovations for mobility solutions of the next decade. As many of our clients come from the Aerospace sector, we were happy to be part of the event and it felt good to meet some real people again after such a long time without events and physical meetings! Many thanks to all participants and especially to the Swiss Aerospace Cluster who made SAM21 a success.

Silverton SL Wheels win Olympic Gold in Tokyo

/in /by

The British rider Tom Pidcock has been juggling three different cycling disciplines in his first season as a professional. After competing in cyclo-cross and on the road this season, the multi-discipline rider from Yorkshire has made Britain’s MTB history by winning Olympic gold today on the technical course of Izu. Earlier this year, it was reported that Pidcock was testing different wheel options from Syncros, DT Swiss, and Duke. Now in Tokyo, Pidcock raced on the Syncros Silverton SL carbon wheels, which might have made a difference in his ride for the win. The wheels were developed by Radiate Engineering & Design in cooperation with Scott Sports SA.

Congratulations from the Radiate Engineering & Design Team!
