Our Mechanical Engineering Department is composed of a highly qualified and multidisciplinary team specializing in the design, analysis, and manufacturing of advanced technical solutions. We focus on demanding applications involving ultra-high vacuum (UHV), high pressure, cryogenic systems, and structural analysis using finite element methods.
One of our core activities is the design and manufacturing of custom UHV and high-pressure vessels, tailored for scientific and industrial applications that require highly controlled environments. These systems are engineered to meet stringent mechanical, thermal, and sealing requirements, following recognized standards and precision manufacturing techniques.
We also develop cryofitted high-voltage feedthroughs, designed to operate reliably under extreme conditions. These components are essential in high-voltage systems functioning in cryogenic or vacuum environments and require highly precise thermal fitting processes to ensure both structural integrity and electrical insulation.
To support the validation and optimization of mechanical designs, we conduct detailed simulations of mechanical stresses and fluid dynamics using advanced finite element analysis tools such as SolidWorks Simulation and ANSYS. This enables us to verify critical design parameters, refine component geometry and materials, and guarantee compliance with all functional and safety requirements prior to fabrication.
We place a strong emphasis on prototyping parts and components using 3D printing techniques, which allows us to validate design concepts early in the development cycle, reduce iterations, and accelerate the transition to manufacturing.
Our department is also deeply involved in the design of cryogenic systems, particularly those using noble elements such as xenon and argon. These systems are developed for integration into cutting-edge scientific infrastructures, where precise thermal management, ultra-clean material compatibility, and a deep understanding of thermodynamic processes are crucial.
By combining technical expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and mastery of advanced simulation tools, we are able to carry out complex engineering projects from initial concept to final delivery. We work in close coordination with colleagues and collaborators in complementary fields such as advanced electronics and high-performance computing, always striving to provide the most efficient, safe, and customized solutions for each unique application.
