Research project
Body function models
Simulation of body functions in physiological exceptional situations for the validation of monitoring devices - Mechatronic devices that sweat or run
Industrial Automation
Research project
Special machine for braces production - Fully automated aligner production
ILT Institute for Laboratory Automation and Mechatronics has developed a special machine for the production of braces in cooperation with bestsmile, the Swiss market leader for dental corrections. Through this digitalisation, bestsmile now produces in larger volumes and works even more efficiently.
Research project
