In this overview, you will find detailed information about our research and development projects that we carry out together with industry or with partners from the scientific community.
We receive funding, for example, from the European Union, from various german federal ministries, as well as from state ministries in North Rhine-Westphalia. In this context, we work closely with major german research funding institutions. You can also find projects that we are working on within internal programs of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft or in the context of industrial cooperations.

The production of steel mould inserts with high surface quality and high form accuracy is, however, far from trivial. Currently, the injection moulding industry invests in expensive steel mould inserts or uses non-ferrous ones with inferior properties. UP STING aims at tackling former mentioned challenges by drastically reducing the number of steps needed in the production of high quality steel mould inserts with optical surface finish, by testing novel steel alloys or non-metallic substitutes and by automating the polishing procedure currently achieved manually.
