NextGen & Industries

Shaping tomorrow's future today

Fraunhofer IAPT stands as a foremost institution in the drive to industrialize Additive Manufacturing. Our primary focus revolves around the comprehensive examination of the value chain during the incorporation and integration of this technology into existing or newly developed production processes. Always with the central objective of promptly transferring the latest innovations directly into the industrial sector. Our driving force is to generate genuine societal value that extends from B2B interactions to the end consumer.

At Fraunhofer IAPT, our aim is not solely to optimize industry through our research, but to make a tangible contribution to society. This is because the measure of research, technology, and innovation lies not only in the optimization of individual components but also in our ability to think holistically and globally. To fulfill this commitment, we actively dedicate ourselves to socially relevant fields of the future:

  • Mobility
  • Life Science
  • Energy
  • Security & Defence

Our future-oriented fields are meticulously designed to offer adept, forward-looking support in tackling the intricate challenges tied to industry-based Additive Manufacturing. We focus not only on refining existing processes and products but also on envisioning the future, demanding knowledge, creativity, and courage.

Collaborate with Fraunhofer IAPT and let's shape tomorrow's future today.
