Manufacturing Technology

Vision of the research group

Leading-edge research in data-driven, adaptable manufacturing technologies in tomorrow's resource-efficient, responsive manufacturing.

Research topics

Our research topics are structured around the following areas of manufacturing technology: processes and process chains, machine tools and industrial robots, networked production systems, and process planning and monitoring. The focus is on additive and subtractive manufacturing processes and their interlinking.

About us

The research group TEC | Manufacturing Technology is an interdisciplinary team of more than 25 scientific employees.

At the center of our activities is our large-scale TEC demonstrator TEC-Lab and AMC as a production-related experimental space for science, industry and teaching. In application and industry-oriented research projects, we create the scientific basis and use our demonstrators to illustrate the exemplary implementation in industrial practice.

Proximity to industry plays a central role in our activities, which is why we maintain a close exchange with our partners and cooperate in industry working groups . The TEC large-scale demonstrator provides the space for collaboration and co-innovation.

In addition to research and development, our mission is also the transfer of knowledge to specific target groups. Therefore we inform companies, enterprises as well as students about current challenges and our solution approaches in our premises. In addition, we qualify students as well as specialists and managers to use new methods, tools and competencies in order to be able to master the challenges in industrial practice.

Our development

Our thematic origin is in machining technology, additive manufacturing as well as machine tools and industrial robots. In the course of the new challenges facing production technology, as well as the new opportunities due to digitalization, there are increasingly intersecting topics that require a holistic approach. Since the beginning of 2021, we have therefore jointly formed the TEC | Manufacturing Technology research group within the Institute for Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW) at Darmstadt University of Technology.
