Advanced Manufacturing

Transforming raw materials into useful products

Innovations in manufacturing engineering are driven both by global challenges, such as scarcity of resources and climate change, and technological drivers, like digitalization, robotics, and artificial intelligence. In this context, advanced manufacturing technologies overcome the dependence of the cost-​per-part on the part complexity, degree of individualization as well as production quantity, while minimising the environmental impact, especially CO₂ footprints. ‘Advanced Manufacturing’ takes on an integral approach along the entire value chain, from the raw materials to products for industrial, construction and clinical practice. Core topics are additive, robotic and hybrid manufacturing technologies, production engineering, advanced process control, engineering design and product development as well as data-​driven and computational methods.
