The SmartArM is designed for transhumeral amputees ore people without a forearm. What drives the team and what role plays maxon in the SmartArM? What are the goals of teamleader Nathanael Jarrassé? Read our blog story: https://lnkd.in/dtimYzDu By the way I: The team's pilot (shown on the picture) is Christophe Huchet.

    Day in, day out, maxon appreciates the creativity of our employees in everything they do. Take, for example, the staff from our factory in Sexau, Germany. They took a selfie stick, removed the stick from the clamp, fastened the clamp to a bar in our warehouse, attached a camera to the clamp, and then tracked how the bar transformed into something else. The result is this video titled ‘From Raw Material to Component.’ Enjoy this trip to one of our production sites, and thanks to the team from the short turning area in Sexau. maxon germany
