Bringing Research Knowledge to Industry
For many years, the Institute of Materials and Processes has been successfully developing methods, processes, and materials and implementing them in R&D projects. Drawing on this long-standing experience, we offer a broad range of expertise in innovative fields. Our goal is to transfer this knowledge from research to industry.
Current topics include, for example, additive manufacturing, the circular economy, data science, large language models, simulation, component optimization, (humanoid) robotics, model-based control, machine learning, and physical AI.
Typical Services
