IFW | The International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP) has elected Dr.-Ing. Benjamin Bergmann, Head of Manufacturing Processes at IFW, as one of 150 Associate Members worldwide, thus honoring Bergmann’s scientific achievements.
- Research
IFW | The rapid provision of patient-specific dental crowns is a major challenge. In order to increase throughput times and process quality in the manufacture of dental prostheses, IFW is researching an industry-oriented solution for process planning with MACK Dentaltechnik GmbH.
- Research
IFA | Artificial intelligence (AI) will improve the forecasting of material demands and thus support material planning for the maintenance of engines. The Institute of Production Systems and Logistics (IFA) and MTU Maintenance Hannover GmbH are collaborating on this field of research.
- Research
IFUM | Less wear and lower raw material requirements in tool manufacturing make sense ecologically as well as economically. For this purpose, tool materials can be substituted with metal matrix composites (MMCs).
- Research
ITA | For rubber extrusion, ITA is developing an artificial intelligence (AI)-based process control system that responds to batch-dependent variations. The goal is to reduce scrap and sustainably increase process stability.
- Here & now
LZH | IPH | From deposition welding to 3D printing on the moon: The LZH presents laser system technology– even for extraordinary challenges. The IPH will demonstrate plastics recycling in additive manufacturing using a 3D printer and the different intermediate steps for recycling.
- Research
IFW | How can machine data from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) be used automatically for integrated maintenance and production planning with the help of the Industry 4.0 asset administration shell? IFW is addressing this question in the joint project BaSys4iPPS.

match | Soft robots for marine research: match and GEOMAR in Kiel are launching a new project to develop a system that will be used in combination with a diving robot to simplify the collection of rock and sediment samples in the deep sea.
- Research
LZH | Dental implants with an innovative lattice structure: The scientists at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. are working on this as part of a DFG research group. The goal: The additively manufactured implants made of titanium should be particularly durable and functional.
