At Dynatec, support for education and upcoming engineers has always been a priority. With a long-standing tradition of collaborating on academic projects with various universities and colleges, this partnership has been instrumental in shaping many of the talented professionals working at Dynatec today.
This year was no exception. Since January, eight students from OsloMet have been working intensively on their Bachelor’s projects in mechanical engineering.
An Exciting Challenge
This year’s assignment revolved around an intriguing question: Can we use programming in the detailed design of established products to reduce engineering costs and shorten delivery times?
The students were divided into two groups of four, with each group focusing on a specific area—one on a Pick & Place robotic cell and the other on Dynatec’s hygienic conveyors.
Using iLogic in Autodesk Inventor, the students parameterized the models based on Dynatec’s design rules. This required them to combine their mechanical engineering expertise with learning to code in VB.NET.
Dynatec har gjennom hele prosjektet vært tilgjengelig og gitt gode tilbakemeldinger. Vi er svært takknemlige for deres engasjement i oppgaven.

Impressive Results
The results were remarkable, demonstrating that engineering and delivery times for these types of products could be significantly reduced. The project was a valuable learning experience for both Dynatec and the students.
“The project allowed us to delve into a part of the design field we previously knew little about. All participants gained valuable experience and knowledge—not only regarding the foundational product development but also in transitioning to a parametric model. Dynatec was supportive throughout the project, providing valuable feedback. We are very grateful for their engagement in our assignment,” said Viktor Borgen, project leader for one of the student groups.
We thank the students for their fantastic collaboration over the past six months!
