Centers at Fraunhofer IWS

Research in the areas of electromobility as well as stationary energy systems is a central theme at Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden. Important contributions can be provided to battery fabrication processes based on the numerous Fraunhofer IWS technology developments.

Fraunhofer AZOM unites requirements of regional economy with novel research approaches in the fields of optical metrology, image processing and bio-photonics.

The Dortmunder OberflächenCentrum DOC® develops tailored coatings using continuous processing of steel band. Development goals include the further development of functions such as corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, electric conductivity and cleaning properties.

Lightweight structures, consisting of fiber composite materials and tailor-designed part geometries can excellently meet the demanding requirements to cost and energy-saving products. To reduce the costs for these structures, the scientists of the Fraunhofer IWS focus their work to optimize this manufacturing process chain.
