MSc Thesis: Low Power bi-directional reluctance actuator
I chose for the Mechatronic System Design track because of the multi-disciplinair approach. Mechanical, electronic and informatica are working together to create a high tech system. Building (electric) race vehicles, even more disciplines are involved. Next to my thesis, I took the time to learn all about the available sensors, actuators and controllers in the […]

3D Printer: Prusa Clone
RepRap projects focus on open-source 3D printers, there are multiple type of materializing methods and multiple stage types. I decided to make a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printer with a Cartesian XYZ linear stage. We use a Mechatronic system that deposit hot plastic on a certain location, you could do manually by using a hot-glue […]
