Projects

Efficient thermoelectric generators and energy storage devices can be applied as universally employable and maintenance-free power supplies. Combined with sensors they operate in an energy self-sufficient manner and are thus highly suitable for monitoring tasks for example health monitoring.

The time and resource-efficient component fabrication, by means of additive-generative technologies, currently belongs to the most innovative revolution in manufacturing engineering. Individualized parts of high complexity can be fabricated by means of 3D printing technologies as well as by laser and electron beam-assisted manufacturing techniques.

The aim of AGENT-eIF is to realize the additive manufacturing of three-dimensional
components with integrated electrical and converter functionalities of multi-material
systems in one device or process. The results are compounds of previously
unprocessed (or hard to process) materials in which sensory elements can be
integrated depending on requirements.
