The production is elaborate, and recycling is difficult: Complex plastic components that need to be translucent at certain points demand quite a lot from manufacturers and disposal companies. Using an ingenious 3D printing process, experts from Fraunhofer IPA and the University of Bayreuth have now…
Digitalization and Hard Chrome Plating from Chromium(III) Electrolytes: These are the two major topics currently being addressed by researchers from the Electroplating Department at Fraunhofer IPA. They will present their findings and developments from June 4 to 6, 2024, at the SurfaceTechnology GER…
At the Stuttgart Biointelligence Congress 2024 in Stuttgart City Hall, the Wittenstein Biointelligence Award will be awarded for the first time on October 22nd. Outstanding innovations from the fields of biotechnology and information technology will be recognized. The application phase ends on June…
On April 30th, the first building of the Fraunhofer Institute for Battery Cell Research Manufacturing FFB was opened in Münster. The new research factory aims to test and optimize battery cell production on an industrial scale. Researchers from Fraunhofer IPA are significantly involved in the planni…
A research team from Fraunhofer IPA and the Schwarzwald Campus has built a robotic cell that assembles fuel cells in seconds and completely automatically. This is a significant prerequisite for the prices of fuel cell systems to fall and for them to replace combustion engines in heavy-duty transport…
"Energizing a Sustainable Industry" is the motto of this year's Hannover Messe. The topics of energy and sustainability are also a comprehensive research focus of the Fraunhofer IPA. Insights into ongoing and completed research projects are presented by the institute from April 22 to 26, 2024, at tw…
The demand for automation in laboratories is steadily increasing. However, the requirements for robot-assisted applications in this context are high. How they can still be implemented in a technically and economically sensible way is demonstrated by Fraunhofer IPA using a prototype in cooperation wi…
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in private and professional environments is continuously increasing. At the same time, regulations are being discussed at the European level through AI certification and safeguarding measures. The Fraunhofer Institutes IAO and IPA have therefore analyzed the c…
The fully automated measurement of biophysical properties of hundreds of cell samples in just a few days is the goal of the cooperation project "AutoRAPID," in which scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen and the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Techno…
The United Robotics Group (URG) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation IPA have signed a licensing agreement as part of their newly established technological partnership. The agreement covers the distribution and further development of the laboratory robot KEVIN®, whic…
