OUR SERVICES


Developing the unique set-ups for large-scale science projects requires the utmost from engineers, and we are well-equipped to play this part. We are no fundamental academic scientists; our forte is in fast engineering, translating often fluid requirements and initial ideas, through thorough analyzes and simulations, into feasible concepts, and realizing one-of-kind hardware modules and customized software.
Big science projects are laying the foundation for solving the biggest societal challenges. Our credentials include complex project developments for the UK Atomic Energy Authority (British fusion energy program), Thorizon (Dutch nuclear reactor), the Einstein Telescope (observatory for gravitational waves), the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile, and many more.

We bring essential technical niche competencies to the table, amongst others, multiphysics simulation, superconductivity, thermal hydraulics, plasma physics, optics, laser physics, and cryogenics.


We believe in the power of partnerships. So, to deliver as promised, we combine expertise, experience, and domain knowledge to create a winning team. Working side-by-side, creating shared value.



We have grown accustomed to metal and concrete printing. But glass? It not only has a very high melting point, it also becomes brittle after solidifying too quickly. Together with the German specialist in advanced solutions from high-performance materials QSIL we cracked the ‘glass code’.

It is essential that the ventilator support is synchronized (in time) with the patient’s spontaneous breaths. A mismatch in this timing is referred to as Patient-Ventilator Asynchrony (PVA). To improve the patient’s comfort and recovery this PVA must be prevented. A key step in this process is the detection and classification of PVA.

The performance of precision mechanisms can be limited by disturbing vibrations that are amplified at parasitic eigenfrequencies. Piezoelectric patches that are integrated into flexures have been shown to be a promising approach for actively suppressing parasitic modes.
