Technical Equipment
Besides the human being the technical equipment is a most important factor for scientific copacity of a institute. Excellent research in different fields of interest always demands for an equipment at the current state of the art. Therefor the Institute of Manufacturing Technology has continously enriched its spatial and apparative equipment from a rather scarce start. Most of the necessary investments were financed through third-party funding. Today about 2000m2 of office, lab and workshop space is available including broad and modern equipment. In order to efficiently use the available machine tools construction and tool manufacturing are essentialparts of the insititute's routine.
