About us
DTSquare GmbH is an engineering office based in Stuttgart, specializing in mechatronics, embedded systems and testing technology. The company develops, builds and programs prototypes, test systems and controllers – from the concept study through to the tested prototype and the fully functional solution. Its services include product and prototype development, mechanical design, simulation (FEM, MBS, system simulation), electronics design and microcontroller development, embedded software and PC/cloud software as well as algorithms, control engineering and AI. Further focal points are the development of measurement and testing equipment, test bench realization, as well as measurement, testing and calculation. Customers come from the automotive industry, the machine tool sector, aerospace, research and academia, including the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Testo AG, the European Space Agency, Komatsu and Kistler AG. The managing directors Dr.-Ing. Frank Deuble and Dr.-Ing. Christian Hofmann founded the company in 2006 out of the transfer and start-up center 'Luftfahrtstrukturen' at the Technology Transfer Initiative of the University of Stuttgart. In addition, DTSquare carries out projects in publicly funded research programs and offers training in metrology, testing technology, vibration technology, modal analysis and acoustics.
