Department of Engineering & Design

Research requires precision, creativity – and often individual, technical and unusual solutions, especially when it comes to experimentally implementing complex scientific questions.

The Engineering and Design department at PGI/JCNS-TA is at your disposal as a competent development partner and advisory service. Working closely with our institute's own Mechanical Workshop, we design and manufacture customised equipment, assemblies and experimental setups – precisely tailored to your specific requirements.

We specialise in:

Prototype construction
Precision mechanical drives
Vacuum system construction
Shear cells, stretching apparatus, rheometers
Pressure cells
Cuvettes
Sample holders
Profile frames

Our portfolio:

Development and design of machines and systems
Technical consulting
Creation of solution concepts in collaboration with scientists
Preparation of design sketches, CAD models and technical drawings
Preparation of design calculations
Technical documentation
CE certification
Creation of 3D scans and 3D prints

In addition, we offer a wide range of 3D printing processes and 3D scanning services.

3D printing process for rapid prototyping
3D scanning technology for digitising and optimising existing components
