Internationally unified standards simplify life for manufacturers and users of services and products. Often, the breakthrough of a new technology only comes when it is standardized because compliance with these standards inspires confidence among...
It is a special honor for the spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT: Laser Melting Innovations GmbH & Co. KG from Aachen is one of the winners of the »formnext Start-up...
Digital material is usually composed of only one material. However, its density distribution in a geometrical body can vary so that the component can have distinct mechanical properties in different sections. Utilizing this feature,...
The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM in Dresden has commissioned a new system for Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM), adding an innovative approach to its extensive expertise in the field of...
The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT’s globally successful EHLA extreme high-speed laser material deposition process is not only turning heads. In the collaborative project EVEREST, the institute – along with three industrial partners...
Complex production processes in highly flexible and networked manufacturing systems require all processes and distributed systems to be able to exchange their data extremely reliably and with only short delay times. For this so-called...
The fused filament fabrication (FFF) process is widely used in both industrial and private applications. Reasons for this are the simple handling, the wide range of materials, a cost-effective system technology and the uncomplicated...
It has six corners and is about the size of a 1-cent piece: In an additive manufacturing process, miniature loudspeakers can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively as part of piezoelectric, microelectromechanical systems – so-called...
A photonics network of pan-European scale will start in January 2021 as part of the EU Horizon 2020 program: The project „Photonics Digital Innovation Hub“– PhotonHub Europe for short – is designed to make...
Accelerating the additive production of metal components by at least a factor of 10: With this goal in mind, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft launched the lighthouse project “futureAM – Next Generation Additive Manufacturing” in 2017. As...
