Innovations don’t just happen at a desk. For industrial research, close collaboration between researchers and the experienced staff in our workshop is one of the most critical factors for success!

High flexibility and quick response times

Especially in a dynamic market environment, our in-house workshop capabilities are a key advantage—particularly when collaborating with industrial partners and SMEs. Thanks to our high level of flexibility, technical expertise, and quick response times, we can rapidly translate new requirements into customized solutions, prototypes, and single-unit developments. This allows innovative technologies to emerge much faster—a genuine competitive advantage for our customers in research, development, and industrial applications.

Unparalleled precision in joining technology

We also rely on state-of-the-art processes and the highest precision in the field of joining technology. Using MAG and TIG welding techniques, as well as various brazing methods, we can process a wide variety of materials in a flexible, material-appropriate, and application-oriented manner.

Functional models in 3D

Additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing round out the range of options and open up entirely new possibilities, particularly when it comes to the rapid production of prototypes and functional models.

Your competitive advantage

The close integration of scientific creativity, state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, and technical expertise makes our institute a driver of innovation. We tackle even highly complex and demanding research tasks efficiently, flexibly, and with a practical focus.

For our customers, this means:

  • faster development processes,
  • high-quality customized solutions,
  • and a decisive competitive advantage in innovation, prototype development, and technology transfer.
