TRR 375 – Multifunctional High-Performance Components from Hybrid Porous Materials

© TRR 375

The Transregio 375 “Multifunctional High-Performance Components from Hybrid Porous Materials” investigates a new generation of technical components: multifunctional high-performance structures made from so-called HyPo materials. These hybrid porous materials combine different metals with deliberately introduced pores to achieve locally defined density distributions as well as application-optimised mechanical and thermal properties.

The aim of TRR 375 is to develop methods for the modelling, design, manufacturing, and characterisation of such components. Researchers from manufacturing technology, materials science, mechanics, design engineering, measurement technology, and computer science work in close collaboration. By developing resource-efficient, recyclable, and adaptable high‑performance structures, TRR 375 contributes to a sustainable and digital future of production.

TRR 298 – Safety Integrated and Infection Reactive Implants (SIIRI)

© TRR 298

In the  Transregio 298 SIIRI, more than 150 researchers, led by Prof. Dr Meike Stiesch (Hannover Medical School) and Prof. Dr Hans Jürgen Maier (Leibniz University Hannover), are developing innovative strategies to enhance implant safety. The interdisciplinary team draws on expertise from medicine, engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, and communication studies, applying concepts from aerospace engineering to design safety-integrated implants.

The project’s objective is to establish a digital implant life-cycle management system that enables early detection and effective treatment of complications, thereby strengthening trust and safety for patients.

TRR 277 – Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC)

© TRR 277

The Transregio 277 “Additive Manufacturing in Construction” (AMC), jointly led by TU Braunschweig and TU Munich, investigates the scientific and technological foundations of 3D printing for the construction sector. Its aim is to integrate materials, processes, and design within a digital, holistic framework. Instead of conventional formwork, components are created directly through additive manufacturing – individually, resource-efficiently, and effectively. This approach enables optimal utilisation of materials, direct integration of functions, and a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions. By advancing this paradigm shift towards a sustainable, data-driven, and forward-looking construction industry, TRR 277 AMC provides a dynamic research environment that fosters innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
