Open Opportunities

Development of an intraoperative crimper for self-expanding endografts

  • ETH Zurich
  • pd|z Product Development Group Zurich

Endovascular stents (endografts) are used to repair aortic aneurisms within the blood vessel without open surgery. Self expanding endografts are composed of a Nitinol frame covered with a woven polyester material that is similar to the standard surgical grafts. For deployment, the grafts are loaded in so called catheters.

Integrated Sensor-Controlled Ventricular Assist Devices

  • ETH Zurich
  • pd|z Product Development Group Zurich

For mechanical circulatory support of failing hearts ventricular assist devices (VAD) support the pump blood in the human circulation. One challenge in VAD development is the control of the device to the physiological state of the patient. This requires research in sensor technology as well as adapted control loops for performant and reliable systems. The goal of the project is to implement and validate an integrated sensor-controlled ventricular assist device in a hardware-in-the-loop test bench at pd|z.

Design Automation of AM Fluid Components – Development of Design Tools for Case Studies with Industry Partners

  • ETH Zurich
  • pd|z Product Development Group Zurich

Design effort and the associated costs are key factors which are limiting the adoption of additive manufacturing in industrial applications. One approach to tackle this problem is the use of automated design tools, which reduce the manual design effort to achieve manufacturable designs. In current research at pdz, we have been working on developing an automated design workflow for hydraulic manifolds. Several steps in the process chain have been tackled so far.

3D printed camera support systems for protected historic interiors (together with Tonhalle Zurich)

  • ETH Zurich
  • pd|z Product Development Group Zurich

This project is part of a collaboration with the Tonhalle Zurich, one of the leading orchestra halls in Switzerland. The goal of this project is to develop a novel support solution that can be attached to the historic interior without damaging it. You will have the opportunity to ideate different design concepts and quickly prototype them using our 3D printers.
