With mixed feelings Professor Mahnken was sent into his well deserved retirement on 29th February 2024, after an impressive career. Because of his long time dedication and outstanding performance he inspired and shaped many students.
His engagement for education and his tireless efforts for science have built a solid base for countless academic successes. His entire scientiffic work includes three textbooks on technical mechanics and more than…
The DMRC in Paderborn fosters the education of engineers in the field of Design for Additive Manufacturing. We emphasize the critical role of designing parts specifically for AM for the successful implementation of the technology and are proud to actively contribute to transferring this essential knowledge to the industry.
Alexander Schl¨¹ter has been a new lecturer at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering since January 2024. The newly established endowed professorship was created in collaboration with the Bette family business from Delbr¨¹ck. Prof. Schl¨¹ter's Chair of Sustainable Industrialisation and Resilient Infrastructure conducts interdisciplinary research into the holistic approach to energy supply, production processes and products over their entire life…
Michael Kr?ker was awarded the Brose Prize by the "Wisssenschaftlicher Arbeitskreis Kunststofftechnik, WAK" (Scientific Working Group Plastics Technology) for his doctoral thesis on "Experimental and model-based investigations into the process behavior of semi-crystalline materials in the special injection molding process GITBlow", supervised by Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Moritzer. The Brose Prize is awarded for the development and research of new…
Erneut fand das Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposiums in Austin, Texas, statt und unterstrich damit erneut seine Bedeutung als renommierte Konferenz f¨¹r additive Fertigung in den Vereinigten Staaten. Das DMRC beteiligte sich mit insgesamt 8 Vortr?gen zu den folgenden Themen:

The NeMo.bil (New Mobility) project consortium has reached an important milestone: The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection is funding the NeMo.bil project to the tune of € 30 million. The aim of the project is to create an innovative, swarm-capable mobility system that will serve as a beacon for the whole of Germany and enable a new form of sustainable and demand-driven passenger and freight transport in rural areas. The…
The International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM) is the leading international research conference on fibre-reinforced plastics and has been held every two years since 1975. The international conference brings together representatives from academia and industry to present the results of research and development projects. In addition to the optimisation of material and component properties, a particular focus is on the sustainability and…
A new chair enriches the ILH consortium. In August 2022, Prof. Dr. Iryna Mozgova succeeded Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Koch as head of Data Management in Mechanical Engineering (DMB), which focuses on additive manufacturing and data analysis / public safety. The research areas include a number of important cross-cutting issues such as design, product development and quality management. Data management is a central and connecting topic that plays an…
The heart of the technical centre in the ILH research building at the Paderborn University is being installed!
The 11 m high hydraulic double-column forming press, manufactured by Schuler Pressen GmbH, was delivered on 16 May and is now being installed in the centre of the experimental areas for materials technology, plastics technology and FRP processing. With a nominal force of 10,000 kN, it is the largest press available to the ILH. Funded by…
Being part of a network offers many advantages and opens up new perspectives. Technology transfer and industrial cooperation have a high priority at the University of Paderborn. In the ILH and the PIAF, there are long-standing contacts to companies of different sizes, regionally and nationwide.
