In the EU project Bio.3DGREEN, 14 partners under the coordination of LZH are developing graphene foams from renewable raw materials. They aim to create a sustainable alternative to conventional damping and lightweight materials for automotive, aerospace and marine applications. LZH is designing a 3D printing test setup and developing the corresponding additive process.
LZH will present itself as a leading research partner for Additive Manufacturing at formnext 2025 in Frankfurt. From November 18-21, LZH will showcase new technologies and exciting application examples at the joint pavilion of the federal states of Bremen and Hesse (Hall 12.0, Booth C22).
Emission-free energy sources are the future. But in order to achieve this, the combustion process of hydrogen must be improved. In a new project, the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is therefore working together with three partners from Lower Saxony on innovative additively manufactured supply components.
In the MOONRISE project , researchers are working to bring 3D printing to the Moon. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) has contracted with Astrobotic for a flight to the Moon, set to take place in late 2026.
In the field of metal processing, dealing with oxidation can be quite challenging. One potential approach involves carrying out production in an environment free from oxygen. The LZH is investigating how this concept can be applied in laser beam brazing and additive manufacturing.
The ZIM Innovation Network AMglass+ wants to make new products and constructions made of glass possible. Products of all sizes are conceivable, from load-bearing glass facades in structural glass engineering to microliter sample carriers in bioanalytics.
They are not yet usable as building blocks – but the lanes melted with the laser are a first step towards 3D-printed buildings, landing points, and roads made of moon dust.
