The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT) is a leading German research institution that develops and integrates advanced additive manufacturing processes like Laser Metal Deposition (LMD-w) and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) into sustainable production chains. Specializing in large-scale metal components and complex geometries via LPBF, the institute bridges the gap between research and industrial application by optimizing the entire process from raw material to finished product. Through collaborations with industry partners and medical innovators like BellaSeno, Fraunhofer IPT leverages robotics and automation to enhance manufacturing efficiency, safety, and scalability across sectors such as aerospace and automotive.
