                      High-Performance Lightweight Structures

                      High-Performance Lightweight Structures

                      The development of lightweight structures for the aerospace industry or the transport and energy sectors always lies at the heart of the work at the Institute - in one form or another.

                      Design and Manufacturing Technology

                      In the field of design and manufacturing technologies, the journey from the first design idea through to the finished component is viewed as one whole system process. This research field has been using digital processes to develop optimal solutions for more than 30 years.

                      Crash & Impact

                      Whether in air or ground-based transport, safety always comes first. For 40 years the 'Structural Integrity' department has been conducting research in the fields of high-velocity impact and crash safety to make vehicle structures safer and thus protect passengers.

                      Manufacturing & Production

                      If you want to shape the future of lightweight construction, you must resolutely push forward the development of new innovations. The research field 'Manufacturing and Production' does precisely this in cooperation with industry. The team uses its broad level of expertise to develop holistic solutions for this purpose, while the unique infrastructure enables the team to develop full-scale automated production processes under realistic industrial conditions.
