Design Workshop

DESIGN

We offer design and engineering of technical products. From the first sketch through the CAD construction to execution. Design models, prototypes, preliminary and small series are realized and optimized in-house, taking production technologies into account. Extended and external production processes are gladly accompanied with active advice.

RESEARCH

We examine and develop propulsion systems and deal with hydrodynamics and aerodynamics in the field of fast and seagoing watercraft. Efficient and low-emission drives have been a focus for us since 2008. Various recreational and commercial watercraft have been successfully designed and converted by us to run purely electrically or on synthetic fuels.

PRODUCTION & WORKSHOP

The workshop is fundamental to our work. It is equipped for any work in any material. Here expertise from the areas of boat building, carpentry and model building come together. These are supported by CNC machines and two robots, one of which is equipped with a rotary table.

Composite is our core competence. We look back on more than 10 years of lightweight construction. Composite parts are usually one-offs, which we manufacture using computers and robots, but only to a certain extent. Then we continue manually. Working out the shape, preparations and the laminating processes, whether in hand lay-up or infusion processes - everything requires a lot of skill and know-how.

In addition to the composite and mold construction work, we develop and build test models and test structures in the areas of ship technology and yachts, as well special buoyancy bodies and floating bodies for wave energy systems. Drive and control components are also developed and tested.

Projects

Vita

„During my design studies I founded the design workshop in 2004, designed furniture and created my first collection. The design and the type of furniture construction were shaped by my approach as a boat builder. I exhibited at the Cölner Passagen and at the 100% Design in London. It wasn't just individual pieces of furniture that were designed and built, they were followed by facilities for shops and trade fair stands, especially in the fashion and streetwear sectors. At the same time, the first prototype of my later boat series was created. After successful tests, I presented the two-seater, fast sports boat under the name FELLERyachting 2008 at the "boot" trade fair in Düsseldorf.

Many new challenges followed. On the one hand the actual boat building and manufacturing processes in the area of ​​composite materials, on the other hand technological design and engineering in the areas of hydrodynamics, propulsion systems and further work with materials for lightweight construction.“
