IFW | With the first-ever production of a complex sandwich structure using automated fiber placement (AFP), IFW impressively demonstrates how automated and high-precision processes are revolutionizing modern lightweight construction and setting new standards in efficiency and design.
- Research
IFUM | Aluminum chips are usually recycled using melting technology – but this results in significant losses in usable material volume. Researchers at IFUM are developing innovative recycling methods without melting losses in order to recycle the raw material in a resource-efficient manner.
- Research
IW | In the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 375 “HyPo,” researchers at the Institute of Materials Science (IW) are developing hybrid, porous materials that can be used flexibly in additive manufacturing to produce very light yet strong components.

IMPT | Dr. Evan Thomas researches diamonds – first in London, then in Cardiff, and now in Hanover at the Institute of Micro Production Technology (IMPT). In this interview, he talks about the fascinating properties and amazing uses of diamonds.
- Research
IFA | Companies are increasingly exposed to unpredictable shocks: suddenly, supply chains are disrupted or energy costs skyrocket. The PARMa research project aims to strengthen adaptability through proactive resilience management.
- Research
match | In the future, drones will be used to measure infrastructure and large-scale industrial components with high precision, thereby significantly improving the quality of maintenance and inspection. Researchers in Hannover are working toward this goal.

match | How compressed air, artificial intelligence, and international exchange lead to innovation: Three American first-year students developed practical solutions for tomorrow’s industry during the Summer Engineering Research Program in Hannover.
- Research
IMPT | Quantum gravimeters are needed to measure Earth’s gravity with the highest precision. Their central component – atomic chips – are being intensively investigated at the Institute of Micro Production Technology (IMPT) as part of the CARIOQA-GE research project to ensure the necessary performance.
