Around 600 employees at our locations in Chemnitz, Dresden and Zittau open up potentials for competitive manufacturing. Our scientific research and contract research focuses on components, processes and the associated complex machine systems \u2013 the entire factory. As the leading Fraunhofer institute for resource-efficient production, we concentrate on the development of efficient technologies and intelligent production plants for manufacturing highly stressed and complex components used in mechanical engineering and automotive manufacturing, and on optimizing the related manufacturing processes. Here it is essential for us to consider the entire process chain.<\/p>\n<p>Key success factors include the development of lightweight structures and technologies for processing new materials as well as functional integration in assemblies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The research activities of Fraunhofer IWU in the area of lightweight construction with fiber composites are closely connected with the activities of our ATL partners. Numerous research projects and industrial projects have been carried out together. The knowhow of all ATL partners is utilized to offer the customers a comprehensive solution to their problems. Here our intention is to complement the unique selling proposition of the STEX Research Center with the partners\u2019 services. Fraunhofer IWU profits from Cetex with its competence regarding textile machines, and from the diverse plant equipment and knowhow of the Department of Lightweight Structures and Polymer Technology (LSP) of TU Chemnitz.<\/p>\n<p>We enhance ATL with practice-relevant system solutions, new ideas for automated preforming and with innovations in the field of additive manufacturing.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"blockquote__cite\">Dr.-Ing.
