Fraunhofer IMWS’s lightweight solution suitable for series production awarded
The Fraunhofer IMWS in has been honored at the Hugo Junkers Prize by the State of Saxony-Anhalt. The jury recognizes an innovative process for the manufacture of lightweight sandwich structures that enables the production of complex-shaped, highly stable components in a mass-production-ready process.
Resource efficiency: How UD tapes are recycled from edge trimmings
In the new "ReTape" research project, the Fraunhofer IMWS is collaborating with partners to develop a process to feed the edge trim of UD tapes directly back into the production process.
Sandwich components with rigid skins and a lightweight core enable a wide range of lightweight construction solutions.
New Joining Technologies for Thermoplastic Sandwich Components
New joining technologies must be developed to make thermoplastic sandwich components economically joinable and repairable in small to medium-sized production runs. The Fraunhofer IMWS is working on this together with the SKZ Plastics Center and partners in a new project.
Automated and Adaptive Manufacturing Processes for TEM Sample Preparation in Microelectronics
The Fraunhofer IMWS and point electronic GmbH aim to jointly develop novel high-throughput fabrication processes for TEM samples that offer exceptional speed, improved automatability, and high precision.

We analyze the properties of microelectronics and microsystem technology components and thus increase the reliability and performance, for example, of computer chips and sensors.
We open up new potential for the use of polymers - for example, as lightweight construction materials for the automotive and aviation industry, in efficient tyres or as plastics made of renewable raw materials.
How good are the materials used in medical engineering and biotechnology? How can cosmetic care products be improved? What can materials made from natural materials achieve? We find out.
We use our top expertise to improve technology, from wafer manufacture to module production. We develop new materials to make photovoltaics more cost effective, more efficient and more reliable.
We drive innovations for microstructure-based optimization of optical materials and coatings, as well as for laser processing technologies used in industrial applications.
