Mechanical Engineering Group

The group works in close collaboration with researchers, from the early concept of a detector/device to its construction.

The group includes a design office and a mechanical workshop facility with state-of-the-art equipment.

The design office performs mechanical design, advanced calculations, analyses and numerical simulations using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software.

The mechanical workshop core competencies are conventional and high-precision computer numerical control (CNC) machining, sheet metal forming, welding engineering, micrometric 3D metrology and additive manufacturing.
