Kevin Fittschen

Cutting-edge research on topics related to prototyping (3D Printing), simulation and mechanical design. Production technology specialist focused on new technologies.

Mechanical design for FDM of robot parts for prototyping and testing.

Mechanical design of industrial buildings. Joins and main structural elements. Inventor Autodesk. Cost allocation and design for manufacturing and assembly with metal sheet, bending, laser cutting and welding.

When Covid caused a global crisis, a group of volunteers and makers started printing protective equipment for doctor and nurses, providing around 50.000 head protections and printed around 2000 kg of plastic. This was possible thanks to management and logistics skills. I was able to provide donations of 2000 kilograms of materials. Using military, and taxi logistics tailor made, we were able to deliver to Schools, Hospitals, Universities and nursing homes.

Design thinking, ecodesign, product design. Solidworks, Keyshot and Adobe Suite as creative tools. Average grade: 78%

Mechanical design, CAD and finite element analysis with NX, Cam Express and Femap. Average grade: 90%

This degree provided me with a very wide perspective of how businesses work. As product designer, we are taught to think about what are our customers needs and to create a product that can satisfy them on budget. Then comes industrial design, from concept to mass production of products, metal, plastic and ceramics. We have a creative and technical development that combined with strong marketing skills allow us to fit in most of industrial sectors.
