Institut für Werkzeugmaschinen und Betriebswissenschaften (iwb) der Technischen Universität München

Project Forms

• Bilateral industrial projects Scientific and problem-oriented processing of issues: Short- to medium-term contract research with different variants depending on the contractual arrangement, in order to distribute rights f&l;r the use of the developed solutions.
• &Federally funded projects Medium- and long-term research projects in a network of research and industrial partners.
• Industrial consortiums bünd competencies: Längerfristig laid projects for joint Lösungsfindung in a low-competitive field of action.
• Long-term „TUM model“ Strong industryäheights and direct involvement of a staff member in the chair. The person employed at the iwb has the möglichkeit for doctoral studies, as well as access to all available resources. 

Prospects for production

As one of the major production technology research institutions in Germany, the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb) comprises two chairs of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. Under the direction of Prof. Gunther Reinhart and Prof. Michael F. Zäh, research, teaching and industry transfer take place in the areas of additive manufacturing, machine tools, assembly technology and robotics, joining and cutting technology, as well as in the field of production management and logistics. In this regard, the iwb works closely with the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Foundry, Composite and Processing Technology IGCV in Augsburg.
