DPPM Cases now available on the DSPE website

Design Principles for Precision Mechatronics. A collection of applications categorized in themes known from construction principles.


How to design mechanical hardware as part of a modern precision mechatronic system.

The precision mechatronics community has a long history of continuous updates on DDP (“Des Duivels Prentenboek”) content by Wim van der Hoek and his ‘heritage keepers’. It is considered relevant to prolong this process with new examples from the field of precision mechatronics, incl. opto-mechanics, electro-mechanics and material science.

In the coming year(s), we write a book and a website containing examples of precision mechatronics elements. DSPE members can contribute by writing clear examples to be freely used. Company and designer can be mentioned. Examples should no be complete systems.

Read more about DPPM at the knowledge page on the website.
