High Performance Manufacturing
We work on the development, provision and adaptation of production and manufacturing technologies as well as the necessary machine and control technology necessary for manufacturing of innovative products. It is the Fraunhofer IPK Project Office for Advanced Manufacturing at ITA’s goal to strengthen and improve the competitiveness of our partners in the long term with application-specific detail and system solutions. Our researchers develop new machines and machining strategies, optimize existing production facilities and implement future-oriented tool concepts. We support manufacturers in the development and introduction of new product-related services.
