Fraunhofer IAPT conducts research in additive manufacturing and advances the technology for sustainable innovation. The institute reduces production costs, accelerates product development, closes gaps in supply chains, and automates tasks in response to staff shortages. In security and defense, the solutions address many challenges, e.g., spare-parts production on demand and on site to reduce delivery times and speed repairs. Another focus area is improving the overall functionality of safety-critical components by leveraging the potential of 3D printing of plastics and metals.

The Fraunhofer IFAM is one of Europe's leading research institutions in the fields of applied materials science and manufacturing technology. Its Additive Manufacturing Department offers an exceptionally broad portfolio of additive manufacturing technologies for metallic materials. In total, nine different processes are available, including laser- and electron beam-based technologies, sintering processes such as Metal Binder Jetting, additive screen printing, Lithography-Based Metal Manufacturing (LMM), MoldJet, GelCasting, Cold Metal Fusion, and Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).

With this comprehensive range of technologies, Fraunhofer IFAM supports companies throughout the entire additive manufacturing value chain—from powder development and process selection to component design and the production of finished parts. This integrated approach enables the economical and application-specific realization of complex geometries and highly customized components.

A particular strength of Fraunhofer IFAM is its expertise in processing high-performance materials such as tungsten and tungsten-copper composites. These materials are ideally suited for demanding applications requiring exceptional temperature resistance, wear resistance, or thermal conductivity.

At EUDEX, Fraunhofer IFAM presents itself as a strong industrial partner for additive manufacturing. The institute supports companies in developing tailored AM solutions—from feasibility studies and process and material development to series production—providing access to state-of-the-art technologies and comprehensive expertise from a single source.

Imprintec GmbH develops innovative solutions for determining the mechanical properties of materials directly on real components—quickly, accurately, and in a largely non-destructive manner. Its patented i3D® technology combines instrumented indentation testing with optical 3D metrology, enabling the determination of key material properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, and the stress-strain curve without the need to manufacture standardized tensile specimens.

The technology is based on DIN SPEC 4864 and the international standard ASTM E3499 and is already used by leading companies and research institutions in the aerospace, energy, materials development, and additive manufacturing sectors.Through its testing equipment and engineering services, Imprintec helps companies shorten development cycles, improve the efficiency of quality assurance, and make well-informed material decisions directly on the actual component.

Why We Are Exhibiting at EUDEX
EUDEX provides the ideal platform for us to present our innovative testing technology to an international professional audience and to strengthen collaboration with industry, research organizations, and potential partners. We want to demonstrate how modern material testing can be performed directly on real components—faster, more efficiently, and with significantly less testing effort than conventional methods.

Liqtra GmbH is a provider of innovative 3D printing systems based on the principle of material extrusion using thermoplastics. The company was founded in 2019. Its portfolio of application-specific 3D printing systems includes both software and hardware, allowing manufacturing processes to be optimally tailored to specific applications. In the automotive industry, granulate-based 3D printers are already being used for the mass production of structural components. As a result, Liqtra GmbH’s systems are ideally suited for building critical infrastructure. In an era where development cycles are becoming very short and products quickly become obsolete, innovative manufacturing technologies are needed to remain competitive.
