More about our Research Partners

The Chair of Digital Additive Production DAP at RWTH Aachen University, together with partners from industry and science, researches the fundamental technical and economic interrelationships of additive production. In addition to the further development of existing AM processes and existing machine and system technology, the focus on software-driven end-to-end processes in particular is an essential working point of the DAP. 
More about DAP
Across the world and for many decades now the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University has stood for successful and forward-thinking research in the area of production engineering. In eight different work areas, research activities not only relate to fundamental theories and findings but also to the application of findings in an industrial context. Furthermore, practical solutions are worked out for the purposes of rationalising production.
