Our aprrentencies in their last education year had the chance to work on this project.

For the project they had to produce a wide range of special single parts. To fulfil this, they had to complete different tasks:

  • Interpretation of the drawings
  • Planning the resources
  • Construction of tools and devices
  • Creation of the CNC programs
  • Production of all aids, devices and workpieces
  • Examination of the final products

 

The engagement and the workpower was impressive. It wasn't only the deadline pressure which they struggled with. The produced parts had to be perfect, is important to prove oneself to the requirements of mechanical and electrical engineering students at ETH Zurich.
