Shorter product lifetimes demand a reduction in the time and cost required to develop new components. The early optimization of materials and manufacturing processes has become a decisive competitive factor.

Therefore, several partner institutes are working on the development of materials with a focus on polymer materials. In several demonstration laboratory halls new manufacturing processes are tested.
