3D-printed forging dies with integrated cooling
IFUM | Manufacturing hot forming tools with integrated cooling channels from highly wear-resistant material and thus increasing the tool life – this is the goal being pursued by scientists from Hanover and Remscheid in a joint project.
Orienting with air: Aerodynamic feeding technology
match/IFA | Not a feeding technology like any other: The aerodynamic feeding technology enables fast and reliable feeding of a large number of components – without manual retooling. Scientists from match and IFA make the "Aero" fit for the future.
Economic production of hybrid components made of metal and FRP
IFUM/match | Hybrid components can be produced in 30-second cycles. This is made possible by an isothermal tool concept with automated handling technology, which is being developed by scientists at IFUM and match in the research project "Load-compatible FRP/metal composites".
3D printing know-how for trainees and design engineers
LZH | The design engineering of 3D-printed parts requires employees to rethink and acquire additional expertise. Since 2018, there has even been a specially tailored offer for trainees: the additional qualification for additive manufacturing processes.
An ecosystem for intelligent production
IFW | Using Artificial Intelligence in production faster and easier: That is the vision of IIP-Ecosphere. Per Schreiber, research associate at the Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools (IFW), is responsible for coordinating this multifaceted project.
Efficient structuring of cylinder surfaces
LZH | Cylinder surfaces of lightweight engines must be lined with a wear-resistant coating to make them durable. With the new generation of the LZH's Laser Internal Machining Head (IBK), the surfaces are efficiently prepared for this.
Investigation of wear in an oxygen-free atmosphere
IMPT | How does it affect friction and wear when production processes run without oxygen? This is what scientists at the Institute of Micro Production Technology (IMPT) are investigating in the Collaborative Research Centre 1368 "Oxygen-free production".
Automated trading of production capacities
IFW | The order situation of contract manufacturers is subject to considerable fluctuations. Trading with capacities is used to smooth the utilization of capacity, but is associated with high costs. The solution: An assistance system for automated trading with production capacities.
Professor Dr. Cala Lesina joins PhoenixD
ITA/HOT | Since July 1, 2020, the team of the Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD has a new member: Professor Dr. Antonio Cala Lesina works in the Optical Design and Multiphysics Simulation Resort. The topic "nanostructures" has already accompanied him for a large part of his international career.
New Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering: Professor Peter Nyhuis
IFA | Professor Peter Nyhuis is the new Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Leibniz University Hannover. He took over the position from Professor Jörg Wallaschek, who was responsible, among other duties, for the completion and relocation of the Campus Maschinenbau in Garbsen.
Qualifying employees in companies for Additive Manufacturing
LZH | Additive Manufacturing processes can be used flexibly, for example to compensate for supply bottlenecks or to produce individualized components in a resource-saving manner. For companies to take advantage of these benefits, they must qualify their employees for 3D printing.
Factory planning must be learned: Seminar in Hanover
IFA/IPH | Versatile and efficient - this is how a sustainable factory should be. At the practical seminar on factory planning on 24 and 25 November 2020, specialists and managers will acquire comprehensive basic knowledge and will be able to put this directly into practice.
Leadership and teamwork in the digital age
IFA | Scientists at IFA explore digital approaches to leadership and interaction in teams. They support managers in guiding their employees through the turbulent changes that technological innovations and digitization bring about.
Emerging stronger from the crisis: IPH supports companies
IPH | SARS-CoV-2 affects the whole world. Every day there are new reports, the future is uncertain. Numerous companies are affected by the crisis and wondering: How can we become crisis-proof? This is where the IPH comes in to help.
Factories in times of Corona: GREAN builds platform
PZH | GREAN is establishing a central point of contact for production companies. There, managing directors and production managers will find information on how to organise their production "Corona-ready". Furthermore, weekly exchange rounds are offered.
