The Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Oerlikon, a Swiss engineering and technology group, will work together to drive forward additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. They founded the TUM-Oerlikon Advanced Manufacturing Institute to master the technical challenges on the road to industrialization.
This institute, based on the TUM campus in Garching, Germany, is funded with an annual budget of $3.9 million for the first five years. The researchers at TUM and the scientific team from Oerlikon’s AM business unit will work together at the institute. During the next five years, the institute will supervise up to 30 dissertations focusing on technical research along the entire value chain, including the development of tailor-made materials, studies on the printing process, the reciprocal interactions between processes and materials, and the entire AM procedure.
