There are many reasons why companies need to replace certain raw or materials with others. A research team from Fraunhofer IPA has now developed an AI-supported tool for material substitution.

This piece of metal is so loose and light that it even floats in milk. We are talking about metal foam. The innovative material contains up to 90 percent air and has astonishing properties. In the factory, it ensures more sustainability and helps to improve the environmental balance in industrial production.

A breakthrough in steel casting technology has been achieved by Fraunhofer IWU and the TU Bergakademie Freiberg.

In the production of its carbide drills for CFRP-Alu machining, Scheinecker GmbH based in Steinhaus near Wels, Upper Austria, relies on BALDIA COMPOSITE DC, a diamond coating from its long-standing partner Oerlikon Balzers.
