Manufacturing technology
The Manufacturing Technology research group focuses on manufacturing processes in their application to wood and wood-based materials as well as other composite and biomaterials (sandwich materials, paper, cardboard and paperboard materials, etc.). Traditionally, cutting and joining processes, but also handling processes, are the focus of research and development with the aim of developing new technologies, improving processing quality, increasing energy and resource efficiency and protecting people and the environment. Special process and tool developments are dedicated to questions and the further development of the state of the art with regard to current material composites and material processing in furniture construction, in the production of construction elements, but also in other manufacturing sectors of the wood industry and beyond.
A particular focus of the research group is the processing of biomaterials such as paper for the development of innovative sandwich core materials. In addition to its research activities, the group is also active in the field of standardization and guideline work.
Focus areas:
- Cutting and joining processes (machining and bonding processes, chip collection)
- Process development (honeycomb panels, hardware setting, narrow surface coating)
- Tool development (milling tools, tools for sandwich materials)
- Material processing (wood, fiber, bio, sandwich core, paper materials)
