Industrializing AM

The idea behind the European Union‘s Industry 5.0 concept is to broaden the Industry 4.0 approach by using research and innovation for the transformation to a sustainable, people-oriented and resilient European industry. In this context the European Commission, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, has claimed that technologies like AI and additive manufacturing can play a large role by optimising resource-efficiency and minimising waste.

Ingomar Kelbassa, head of the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Additive Manufacturing Technologies (IAPT) and the Institute for Industrialization of Smart Materials (ISM) at TUHH, and Frank Beckmann, deputy institute head at Fraunhofer IAPT, explain what Fraunhofer IAPT stands for and what contribution it makes to sustainability and productivity as well as to resilience and prosperity for our society.

 

Since April 2022, Prof. Dr. Ingomar Kelbassa has been heading the Fraunhofer IAPT.
