Overview

.

At the Chair of Manufacturing Technology, we conduct research on numerous manufacturing technologies and jointly shape the digitally networked, sustainable production of the future. The digital twin - a virtual image of the component based on manufacturing data and a wide range of models and simulations - plays a decisive role in this.
