Intern

Toyota Material Handling Manufacturing Italy
05.2021 - 10.2021
  • Internship completed at the research and development department of TMHMI, where I gained experience in the design of gear power transmission systems, specifically for forklifts
  • The objective of the internship was to optimize current product designs, identify more efficient and reliable solutions, and evaluate the use of KISSsoft software for the design and verification of gear transmission systems
  • The internship provided specific skills related to the construction elements of a gear transmission and their design, as well as training in the use of KISSsoft software
