Lasers out of the 3D printer: The future of optical manufacturing begins in Niedersachsen

On November 19^th, 2019, in Hannover, Niedersachsen presented "GROTESK - the future of optics manufacturing". The four partners in the innovation network "GROTESK - Generative Production of Optical, Thermal and Structural Components" presented research approaches with which optical systems can be manufactured in completely different ways in the future.

Efficient engine production with the latest generation of the LZH IBK

Aluminum engine blocks are significantly lighter than their conventional cast iron predecessors. However, in order to make them durable, the cylinder surfaces must be lined with a wear-resistant coating. The internal processing laser head (IBK) developed by the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) can be used to prepare the inner surfaces of the cylinder. The IBK is already used in in series production, the new generation R7 has now been delivered.
