Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ekkard Brinksmeier
University Bremen

The research group 1845 "Ultra-Precision High Performance Cutting" (UP-HPC) pursues the goal of reducing the disproportionately long main and secondary times in ultra-precision machining with scientific methods, in order to help this technology become economically viable in the manufacturing industry.

FOR 2180

Speaker:

Prof. Dr. Andrea Hoffmann
Hannover Medical School

The aim of the research group 2180 is to demonstrate the basic feasibility and exemplary production of a graded implant for future use at the tendon-bone transition of the rotator cuff. Electrospun fibre mats made of biodegradable polymers (in particular on the basis of polycaprolactone) with a directional ("tendon-side") or non-directional ("bone-side") fibre orientation serve as the basic material.

FOR 5250

Speaker:

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Frank Walther
Char of Materials Test Engineering (WPT), TU Dortmund

Aim of the DFG research unit 5250 will be the development and validation of an integrated solution for the manufacturing, characterization and simulation-based design of additively manufactured implants in maxillofacial surgery, taking into account physiological conditions of the individual bone situation.
