◼ Research Field
  - The Manufacturing Technology Instiute – MTI of RWTH Aachen actively shapes the transformation process towards future-proof, digitally networked and sustainable production. As one of the largest production technology institutes, we see ourselves as having a responsibility to strengthen industrial value creation with a clear focus on economic efficiency, sustainability and resilience and in this way make our contribution to a future worth living.

As a part of MTI, the Department of Forming Technology stands for excellent research, hands-on development and individual consulting in the field of forming technology. With our many years of experience and in- depth expertise, we offer a wide-ranging portfolio of customized services that are specifically tailored to the requirements of a wide variety of industries and project partners.

Our aim is to develop innovative solutions along the entire forming technology process chain - from material selection and process design through to implementation in real production environments. We not only use state-of-the-art simulation technologies and experimental facilities, but also draw on the interdisciplinary cooperation within production engineering at RWTH Aachen University in order to make optimum use of synergies.

Our focus is on the targeted implementation of your requirements, the identification of new potential and the increase of efficiency, quality and profitability in your production processes. Regardless of whether you are a small or medium-sized company or an international industrial group - we accompany you in partnership on the way from the idea to series production.

Focus of work:

  * System, product and process optimization
  * Material charactrization
  * Tribology analysis
  * Tool wear monitoring
  * Error identification during complex forming processes
