Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology IGCVInnovative metallic casting processes in the context of casting 4.0
Our focus is on the casting of metallic materials, whereby we combine expertise in indirect additive manufacturing, molding materials, process development and analytics. This combination enables us to conduct interdisciplinary research that develops new solutions for the challenges facing the casting industry. In doing so, we attach great importance to the responsible use of resources.
Our aim is to increase the efficiency and quality of casting production, for example through automation and digitalization solutions, and to increase flexibility and productivity in production. Intelligent systems enable us to react more quickly to market changes and implement individual customer requirements.
We also research and develop new materials and alloys that meet the requirements of industry. We cooperate with companies and research institutes to make our progress marketable and promote innovative approaches.
Together with the Chair of Metal Forming and Casting of the Technical University of Munich, we form »Foundry Technology Munich«.
This partnership strengthens our research platform and combines basic and industry-oriented approaches.
In summary, our casting research not only contributes to technical innovation, but also to the sustainable development of the industry. We continuously adapt to new challenges and trends in order to ensure the relevance and sustainability of casting technology and lead the industry into a successful future.
