"Dare to Repair!" - Video series on product repairability
Dare to Repair! ETH Feasibility Lab's Hendrik Clausdeinken uncovers the secrets of reparable products in a thrilling video series.
Mounting cameras on stucco
Tonhalle Zürich was built at the turn of the 20th centruy and has recently undergone a complete modernization while restoring its former glory. We help to find solutions to install cameras on the elaborately restored historical stucco without damaging it.
PROJECT AUTOINJECTOR RECYCLING
Unlike medical waste that is produced in a hospital, there is currently no way to recycle autoinjectors and disposal via residential waste is the only available option. Janssen-Cilag AG wants to address this problem for their products and recollect the devices after use in cooperation with postal services. In a collaboration with the Feasibility Lab, first prototypes and concepts for the recycling of different devices were developed.
PROJECT LONGLIMBS
Affordable prostheses for the world
We developed a solutions for the next generation of long stump amputees in developing countries. This project in collaboration with the International Commitee of the Red Cross and the ZHdK Industrial Engineering within the framework of the Design Technology Lab.
PROJECT SOLO ROBO
Our project partner uses the SoloVPE spectrometer to performs protein concentration measurements. Operating this devices is repetivite and time-consuming. We looked into possibilities to automate the operation of the device and developed a simple three-axis roboto that is now a productive co-worker in our partner's lab.
PROJECT COVMASS
Within 33 hours during a Hackathon a team of 15 ETH engineers created a first prototype of a fully automatic and touch free system to enable mass testing of COVID-19. The system consists of a dispenser, which gives out the test kit to a customer after scanning their ETH card. The test kit needs to be cooled while being stored inside the dispenser. After the self-test is done, the kit can be returned to the collector.
PROJECT AMNIOFIX
Prenatal surgery is a factor for preterm delivery, since the amniotic sac is wounded. The USZ/EPFL start-up Kove develops technology for secure pre-natal treatment and to reduce the risk of preterm birth. Our study evaluated possible solutions for closing the surgery wound on the amniotic sac and prototyped respective tools.
