- Research and development
The digital transformation is influencing the mechanical engineering industry - also in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The goal: to network manufacturing components. Several research institutions in MV are driving this transformation. The competencies of the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Large Structures in Production Engineering cover the entire field of mechanical engineering. In the field of automation, employees are working on integrating robotic systems that can cope with the high demands of large-scale production. Some companies in MV are already using such robotic systems.
The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Research and Technology e. V. in Greifswald works in the field of materials and surfaces. One of its concerns is to optimize the material properties of individual components. These should be environmentally friendly and enable more precise control processes.
Production processes are optimized at the Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt . Hybrid welding, which combines arc and laser beam processes, is one such approach. This method compensates for some negative characteristics of both processes. The research department of the University of Rostock regularly publishes new papers on measurement or process methods, among other things. Both companies and research institutions benefit from this. In MV, active work is being done on solutions for the future.
Research Group CEA
The CEA group is an interdisciplinary research group of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Wismar. Here research is conducted on computational engineering and mechatronics, the main research area of the university.
CIM Technology Center Wismar e. V.
The CIM-Technologie-Zentrum Wismar e. V. (CIM e. V.) was founded in 1993 as a non-profit institution for the promotion of science and education and is closely associated with Wismar University of Applied Sciences. Since then, innovation and further education for small and medium-sized enterprises have been supported in various forms from the sectors of mechanical engineering, metal, steel and plant construction as well as control and automation technology. At the headquarters with modern equipped office, laboratory and workshop areas at the Alter Holzhafen in Wismar, scientists work on the main research areas of special machine and tool construction, micromachining, compound construction. The range of services includes superplastic forming, research work on product and process innovation, R&D transfer between research institutions and companies, studies and concept development for innovation processes in companies, development and implementation of projects for the application of new manufacturing technologies, innovation and network management, organization and implementation of seminars, symposia, workshops and further training measures.
Institute for Surface and Thin Film Technology
At the Institute for Surface and Thin Film Technology (IfOD) of the Wismar University of Applied Sciences, demanding applied research tasks have been realized in cooperation with industrial partners since the year 2000. As an industry-oriented institute of the Wismar University of Applied Sciences, it bundles competences in the fields of coating production, application and characterization as well as surface analysis and thus establishes a direct link between teaching and practice.
The IfOD is dedicated to application-oriented research. The focus is on the development and characterization of new, functional materials or material composites, surfaces, materials and processes. In doing so, the IfOD accompanies research projects from the development and characterization of process engineering to materials science analysis and prototype development.
Additive manufacturing
Large-format objects in construction and design
The aim of the project in the design department of Wismar University of Applied Sciences is to advance digitalization in construction, architecture and design, and thus increase productivity using new resource-saving manufacturing technologies, the so-called 3D printing process. One focus is on shaping cement materials without the currently still obligatory formwork by means of an additive manufacturing technology in a digital process chain individually and according to requirements and opening up new design possibilities.
Development of a process-integrated parameter analysis system for additive manufacturing systems based on artificial intelligence
The aim of the joint research project at the Chair of Microfluidics at the University of Rostock is to develop a process-integrated parameter analysis system for additive manufacturing systems based on artificial intelligence. To this end, hardware and software components are being developed which, on the one hand, support and improve quality assurance in the additive manufacturing process and, on the other hand, optimize the process itself. On the hardware side, a data analysis system is being developed that can be integrated into an additive manufacturing system. The data analysis system detects, analyzes and monitors relevant process parameters and can use artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to detect unfavorable process behavior during the 3D printing process at an early stage and initiate optimization strategies. The software component is based on cryptographic blockchain technology. It defines the interfaces for visualizing the analyzed process parameters and documents specific parameters digitally, decentrally and transparently. This is intended to enable certified additive component manufacturing.
- Workforce and networks
University of Rostock, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture with its versatile courses of study forms a powerful focal point for practice-oriented engineering education.
