Bio-inspired Research

We at Fraunhofer IWS will be participating in the Long Night of Science again in 2026 – this time, our focus will be on bio-inspired research. Our scientists are already hard at work – come by and see for yourself!

System Technology for Laser Precision Processing

Compact overview of laser-based surface structuring: modular, integrable systems, AI parameter optimization, inline sensor technology, and practical examples for stable, scalable processes.

From Fundamentals to Applications

In the early days of laser technology, engineers first cut plastics with lasers for industrial use. Although laser processing of metallic materials dominates today, applications with non-metals are gaining ground. Over the course of the workshop, you gain insights into the broad spectrum of laser processing for non-metals.

Microsystems for Physiological Cell Culture

Microphysiological systems (MPS) are a high-performance tool for research and development in the field of tissue reconstruction, drug and cytotoxicity studies.
