They are young. They step on the gas. And they know exactly what they want… We are talking about the future technology experts – or the “young savages”, as we call them. <\/strong> Whether HTL workshops, WESTCAMP or social projects: With our technologies, we enable young talents to gain practical experience and support ideas that create real added value. This is how WESTCAM combines innovation with responsibility – for the next generation and for society. <\/p>\n\n

Young, wild & tech-savvy? This way, please! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At WESTCAM, we love everything that is new and has a WOW factor. This means innovative technologies, of course, but also young talent. That’s why we work with schools and training companies to shake up traditional teaching. Or lend a hand with student projects when 3DMetrology or 3D printing technology is required. The only requirement? The “young savages” have to allow us to get involved. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Young technology freaks with heart & brain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WESTCAM & students: Idea-WOW meets Know-WOW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have the ideas, we have the technology: when the idea-WOW of students meets the know-how-WOW of our experts, sparks fly. For example on the Formula 1 race tracks in Italy, Austria, Germany and Japan. That’s where the FH Joanneum Graz racing team<\/strong> puts the pedal to the metal with their racing cars – thanks to their self-developed turbocharger, they are right at the front! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For the new, optimized engine “Made in Austria”<\/strong>, the racing team enlisted the support of WESTCAM Know-WOW and Technik: using 3D-Metrology, a tried and tested turbocharger was scanned and measured and converted into an exact 3D CAD model.<\/strong> Using the model, the students were able to rebuild the turbocharger and make the decisive improvements – and then speed away from the competition on the race track!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The fast and the furious – powered by WESTCAM & E-Mobility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Campus Tirol Motorsport Team is also stepping on the gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their mission: to design an electrically powered racing car<\/strong> and then manufacture it themselves. Our WESTCAM experts were able to support them with know-how and high-quality milled parts for their<\/strong> vehicle<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of around 50 students from the University of Innsbruck, MCI, UMIT and FH Kufstein? To take part in the international Formula Student design competition with their electric racing car and leave the competition teams with nothing but their tail lights! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Speed did not play a major role in this project – but the role itself did: As part of their diploma thesis, three students from HTL Innsbruck Anichstra\u00dfe developed an innovative rescue device for use in alpine terrain during planned rescue operations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
