Fritz Studer Hosts Fourth Annual Research Competition

For its fourth annual competition, Studer is looking for thesis and research results that contain the following: innovative machine concepts or components for machine tools in precision machining; alternative materials in mechanical engineering; simulation models of dynamic and thermal behavior of machine tools; control and sensor concepts for machine tools; and new or further developed manufacturing technologies, especially in hard-fine machining.

The research award is open to graduates with an engineering degree from any European university or institute of technology. A winner will be chosen based on the innovation and idea behind the research work, its scientific content, the form and accuracy of its statements, and how its findings can be realized for implementation in the machine industry. Work must be submitted by October 31, 2014.

The prize will be awarded during the international representative meeting at the beginning of February 2015 in Thun, Switzerland. The winner will receive CHF (Swiss Francs) 10,000 in prize money, the Fritz Studer Award and a certificate.
