On 8th October, VDL Enabling Technologies Group Eindhoven hosted a lunch lecture for our High-Tech Master’s students. As the presentation highlighted, a key advantage of VDL is their ability to consolidate all processes under one roof, which greatly enhances the engineers’ workflow. They boast both a robust R&D department and a wide array of advanced manufacturing equipment, significantly shortening the steps between design, prototyping, validation, and production.
Additionally, a design case of the wafer handler, used in ASML machines, was presented. The intricate challenges involved underscored just how deeply high-tech engineering is embedded in VDL’s company culture. A couple of prototypes were shown, to further enhance the understanding of the mechanism and to get a feeling of the size and complexity of components.
We extend our sincere appreciation to VDL for sharing their values and knowledge with us.
