Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWSMission and vision
Laser integrated manufacturing
Product of selective laser melting process
3D fiber laser cutting with robotics
The work at Fraunhofer Project Center consists of three main pillars:
- contracted research and development projects for industrial customers,
- publicly funded research projects, national, bilateral and European R&D programs,
- internal projects to extend the competences of both partners.
The competencies of the Fraunhofer Project Center arise from the core laser based business fields of the Fraunhofer IWS:
- joining (welding)
- removal and cutting
- surface layer technologies
- thermal coating technologies
and the basic areas of the CAMT (Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies) of Wroclaw University of Technology:
- manufacturing technologies, including generative technologies
- production management,
- production automation and control
- quality inspection systems including vision systems.
