Meet us at the next fair!

ISCT

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, May 7 – 10, 2025

At the “ISCT 2025” conference for gene and cell therapy in New Orleans, which is attended by over 2,500 experts from research, clinical practice and industry, we are presenting our solutions for laboratory automation together with our partner Harro Höfliger.

One highlight is our “Lab Automation Demonstrator”, which showcases Next Generation Production for innovative cell and gene products. Using a magnetic planar drive, cell containers are transported smoothly between different stations – including liquid handling and inline quality control.

The “COPE” control software used in the process was developed specifically for the needs of a laboratory. It enables flexible, free-chain processes and fully bio-adaptive production.

ASGCT

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, May 13 – 17, 2025

We are represented at the “ASGCT Annual Meeting 2025” together with our partner Harro Höfliger. There, we will present our solutions for laboratory automation – a crucial step for the efficient, scalable and standardized production of cell and gene therapeutics.

One highlight is our “Lab Automation Demonstrator”, which showcases the Next Generation Production for innovative cell and gene products. Using a magnetic planar drive, cell vessels are transported smoothly between different stations – including liquid handling and inline quality control.

The control software “COPE” used in this process was developed specifically for the needs of a laboratory. It enables flexible, free-chained process control and fully bio-adaptive production.

SLAS Europe 2025

Hamburg, Germany, May 20 – 22, 2025

Visit us at SLAS Europe and experience the future of laboratory automation. With our Lab Automation Demonstrator, we are showing a model of the “Next Generation Production” for novel gene and cell products. The system is based on a magnetic planar drive and can frictionlessly transport cell vessels from station to station and, for example, carry out liquid handling processes or inline quality controls.

Together with our innovative control software “COPE”, flexible, free-chain processes can be implemented and a fully bio-adaptive production can be realised. 

Laser – World of Photonics

Munich, Germany, June 24 – 27, 2025

Visit us at the Laser World of Photonics in Munich!

At our booth, we will be presenting some of the topics we are currently researching. These range from innovations in the production of plastic optics and high-precision glass optics to the microstructuring of optics and state-of-the-art measurement technology.

Laser World of Photonics is an important trade show for the laser and photonics industry. Since 1973, it has covered the entire spectrum of photonics – from components to systems and applications. It combines research, technology and practice and, as a cross-sectional technology, addresses important areas such as materials processing, metrology, imaging and medical technology. 

Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe

Hamburg, Germany, October 21 – 23, 2025

At the Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe, we will be presenting the research and development results from our activities related to fuel cell and electrolyzer stacks. We will be providing exciting insights into the iterative optimization of production processes and machine systems. Using simulations, prototypes and functional tests of metallic bipolar plates (BPP) and expanded metal-based porous transport layers (PTL), we illustrate how scalability, product quality, performance and costs can be optimized in synergy.

Visit us in Hall 4, Booth H20, to learn more about what we have to offer.

formnext

Frankfurt am Main, Germany, November 18 – 21, 2025

How does an additively manufactured semi-finished product become a high-quality component for industrial use?

Additive processes such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) offer high flexibility and resource efficiency in individual and small series production. But only through appropriate post-processing does the component achieve the surface quality that industrial use requires.

At Formnext 2025, the Fraunhofer IPT, together with other Fraunhofer institutes, will show examples of numerous processes and their combinations: conventional processes for smoothing surfaces such as milling and sandblasting, but also vibratory grinding, stream finishing, plasma processes, laser beam structuring, selective coating and painting.

The institutes' joint exhibit offers trade fair guests a compact overview of the variety of different technologies and invites them to discuss specific challenges.

SPS – Smart Production Solutions

Nuremberg, Germany, November 25 – 27, 2025
