The research explores the application of predictive calculation methods to the design of frames and components. The work will see the active participation of Giovanni Meneghetti, professor of Machine Design, along with his university working group.
“I am very happy to announce this new collaboration”, states Federico Pavin, Research and Development Manager at Eureka. “The common goal is to enhance the efficiency of product development for market release and to optimize material and energy consumption during production. In addition, the application of predictive calculation models, the reliability of which will be verified by Prof. Giovanni Meneghetti and his team, will allow us to greatly accelerate the design phase for new machine frames and therefore to reduce the time-to-market of new projects.”
“Technology transfer is part of our university’s mission as much as teaching and research”, explains Prof. Meneghetti. “The request we received from Eureka demonstrates the company’s eagerness to innovate in production over the medium to long term, through the acquisition of new know-how. We have therefore begun a collaborative project aimed at satisfying the needs expressed by Eureka. This will be run internally by Eureka and here at the university’s experimental research laboratory over the next six months. It will also provide the subject for a master thesis by our research student Alex Fusina. The work will allow Eureka to acquire the latest know-how, as established by applicable standards, and to design machine frames using modern mathematical calculation methods.”
This latest collaboration with the University of Padua confirms Eureka’s standing as a future-oriented company that understands the importance of technological innovation, is determined to avail itself of valuable, locally available human resources, and is oriented to continuous improvement in production processes.
