Institute of Product and Production Engineering

We focus on the development of products and manufacturing processes, and apply cutting-edge technologies.

Competencies

Product development

We support our customers through the entire product development cycle with the process steps of design, simulation and production.

Finite element simulations

Structural mechanics finite element simulations of components and assemblies.

Additive Manufacturing

3D printing of metal and plastic components, including manufacturing-specific design.

Laser micro-machining

In the 3D field, we focus on microstructures, transparent materials, deep drilling and other applications.

Optical 3D measurement techniques

Scanning complex free-form surfaces with optical 3D measurement systems.

Mechanical component testing

With our excellently equipped testing laboratory, we perform static and dynamic material and component tests.

Materials science

Examination of materials and components regarding structure and composition, production process and operation.
