Maple Case study – Maple is used by Ulysse Nardin to lengthen the running time of new watches
Claude Bourgeois, an engineering consultant and former Centre Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) researcher, used Maple to model and optimise barrel springs made of composite materials compatible with deep etching on silicon. The use of composite materials should double the running time, i.e. the operating time of watches when they are at rest.
