With over 25 production sites on four continents, sales in more than 100 countries and over 8,000 employees, the company, headquartered in Switzerland, generates annual sales of more than CHF 1,000 million.

Our employees are the heart of Datwyler - we treat each other with respect, trust and appreciation. We have strong roots and values that have been well established in our 100-year corporate history. Become part of our great team as a...

6 months

• Plan and run simple parameter studies for rapid prototyping (e.g. resin type vs. mould temperature, curing temperature, exposure time).
• Investigate the influence of rubber viscosity and process conditions on filling behaviour and part quality.
• Prepare and compare reinforced resins with different reinforcement types (e.g. glass fibre, carbon fibre, fillers) in standard test geometries.
• Help define test concepts for rapid prototyping parts (what to measure, how to compare, acceptance criteria).
• Perform basic part testing: visual and dimensional checks, simple mechanical/functional tests, behaviour under different temperatures and pressures.
• Document results in a clear, structured way (Excel overviews, short test summaries, photos).
• Assist in simple “material design” tasks, e.g. combining resins and reinforcements, preparing small batches and comparing handling and performance.

• Student in a technical field (e.g. mechanical engineering, materials science, plastics, production, mechatronics)
• Strong interest in materials, processes and parameter effects
• Enjoys hands-on lab/workshop work and structured testing
• Basic Excel skills and willingness to document experiments carefully
• Curious, reliable, and open to learning new technologies (SLA/SLP, moulding, testing)
• At the time of the internship, the intern must be enrolled at an university in Switzerland

• Practical insight into rapid prototyping, materials and process development
• Own small studies within a guided framework (parameters, resins, reinforcements)
• Close collaboration with experienced engineers and technicians
• Modern lab and prototyping environment in an international company
