Future-proof design principles for precision mechatronics
An initiative to produce updated design principles for precision mechatronics has been developed by the professors of precision engineering and mechatronics at the three Dutch universities of technology in association with DSPE, and in close collaboration with the Dutch high-tech industry.
Building on the legacy of Wim van der Hoek, the Dutch doyen of design principles, the aim of the initiative was to collect over 100 cases that demonstrate the proper application of contemporary design principles. Many cases are already presented on a dedicated website and a broad selection will be collected in a new textbook, preceded by an extensive, in-depth introduction of the design principles. This Mikroniek article gives a sneak preview. (Image courtesy of TNO)
