On Thursday, January 9, 2025, the 2nd edition of the Student Prototype Engineering Design Competition for the Energy Sector – SKIPPER 2025<\/a> took place in Krakow, Poland. Seven teams of students took part in the event at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow<\/a>, one of the best technical universities in Poland. This competition was supported by SOLIDWORKS reseller, SOLIDEXPERT POLSKA SP. Z O.O.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The competition task was to create a prototype of a wind turbine component that meets the requirements for energy efficiency and durability. Participants used SOLIDWORKS<\/a> to design the part. The next stage was to print it out and test it. The jury also assessed the team’s presentation of the design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What counted in the competition?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Innovation of the project – a creative and modern approach to design,<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Precision of execution – matching the prototype to the technical requirements,<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Test results – effectiveness of the model under simulated operating conditions,<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Presentation of results – ability to defend the design in front of a jury of experts.<\/p>\n

During the event, specialists from SOLIDEXPERT: W\u0142adys\u0142aw Hamiga<\/a> – Technical Specialist for 3DEXPERIENCE \/ SIMULATION, who was on the jury of the competition and Agnieszka Galarowicz<\/a><\/em>, actively reviewed students’ entries.<\/p>\n

It was a great opportunity to participate in this unique event promoting innovation and teamwork among students. Agnieszka explained, “We would also like to congratulate the participants in the competition who rose to the two demanding challenges and presented their solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
