Research clusters, competence centres, Regensburg Center

  • The "Designing with Plastics (KmK)" cluster bundles competences in the areas of lightweight construction, laser material processing and CAD-CAM coupling. It can be seen as a link between applied research and industrial development. Industry-relevant topics from the areas of plastics processing, lightweight construction, application of fibre-reinforced plastics, laser material processing, rapid prototyping with laser technology, operational stability and CAD-CAM coupling are dealt with using an interdisciplinary approach.
