The KAt chair has successfully recreated the chair's own research platform ‘KAtAMaran’ (construction and drive technology in AM-optimised modular drive) on a scale of 1:2 as a functional miniature demonstrator ‘KAtA-Mini’. The miniature demonstrator is used as an application example in courses to demonstrate design aspects of

As part of the Machine Elements Drive Components lecture, we invited interested fourth semester mechanical engineering students to an excursion to Claas

As of January 15, 2024, the KAt Chair is supported by a new scientific research assistant. Lea Küpper received her M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering

KAt was represented at the DMRC stand at the "Formnext" trad fair in Frankfurt from November, 07.-10., 2023. Exciting

At the 15th International Forum of Experts - FVA, the KAt presented an insight of the Chair's research with a lecture "Electric motors

The KAt team participated in the 64th Tribology Symposium in Göttingen. Tobias Bührmann presented his research

Tradition meets reorientation. We can speak of tradition because on 19 September 2023, the sponsorship award for mechanical engineering students in their fourth semester at the Chair of Design and Drive Technology (KAt) at Paderborn University was presented for the 18th time. The reason for this reorientation is that our new sponsor for the award is CLAAS Industrietechnik from Paderborn.

OWL is also an economically active and innovative region in the field of additive manufacturing. The aim of OWL 3D, the 3D printing initiative for the region, is to demonstrate and strengthen this fact. As part of the ‘OWL3D Live & in Colour’ series, the University of Paderborn once again hosted exciting presentations on 13.09.23.

The 34th Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium took place in Austin, Texas from 14 August to 16 August. The event offered a fascinating insight into the world of additive manufacturing and brought together experts and researchers from all over the world to present and discuss the latest advances and developments in the industry.

The AM Forum Berlin, one of the leading conferences in the field of additive manufacturing (AM), took place in the German capital from 3 to 5 July 2023. The event attracted experts

Laser Powder Bed Fusion metal processing is an additive manufacturing technology which is of great interest to the manufacturing of electrical

Laser beam melting (LBM) of ready for use parts of ferrosilicon alloys with a high silicon content is very promising and challenging at the same time. While significantly improving soft magnetic properties, a higher silicon content also promotes brittleness, making these alloys hardly suitable for the production of parts with a height of more than a few millimeters. In order to overcome

Das KAt freut sich darüber, die Firma Claas als neuen Sponsor für den Förderpreis der Lehrveranstaltung „Maschinenelemente – Antriebskomponenten“

On April 01, the "Intercultural skills in mechanical engineering" (InterKoMB)-project started at Paderborn University. The project is funded by the Faculty of Mechanical Enginering at Paderborn University for one year. Among other things, it is aimed at preparing mechanical engineering students at Paderborn University for a study abroad
