Research

Across seven interconnected research areas, the entire lifecycle of scalably manufactured components is examined – from preforming by forming technology through subtractive and additive processes to the reintegration of materials into closed recycling loops. A particular emphasis is placed on the development of modular production units, cutting-edge sensor systems, and intelligent process controls that enable flexible, data-driven manufacturing. Through close collaboration among the participating institutes at the Production Technology Centre Hannover, practical solutions for the production technologies of the future are being developed.
