Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT
Fraunhofer IPT develops technologies and application-oriented solutions for machining along the entire process chain – from process design and real-time data acquisition during production to consulting and prototype production. We handle research and development projects comprehensively and purposefully with technological knowledge, system expertise and our modern machinery; in doing so, we use the possibilities of digitization to deepen process understanding and ensure competitiveness.
Our topics are in particular simultaneous multi-axis milling and the turning of geometrically demanding components made of superalloys, high-hardness steels, lightweight and composite materials as well as special materials. Typical applications come from turbomachinery, aircraft and tool making as well as medical technology.
