Manufacturing processes from additive manufacturing to machining: research and development on process and tool design, surface engineering, simulation of manufacturing processes as well as analysis and optimization of process chains. |
Development and research of self-learning machines, holistic automation solutions and intelligent handling systems for innovative production processes in the fields of machine tools, electric mobility, hybrid lightweight structures and additive manufacturing. |
Planning, evaluating and controlling the effects of tomorrow's production - from the global, shock-robust network to the breathing factory with highly productive production facilities and innovative business models to quality assurance of immature processes – are the goals of the field Production System. |
Hybride und vollelektrische Antriebslösungen erfordern neue Fertigungstechnologien, etwa im Bereich der Statorfertigung und Wickeltechnik. Diese erforscht das KIT u. a. im Rahmen des IICM. Bei ihrem Besuch in der Karlsruher Forschungsfabrik konnte Ministerin Theresia Bauer u. a. sehen, wie es neue Produktionstechnologien ermöglichen, den Anteil seltener Erden an Rotoren elektrischer Antriebe zu minimieren.
