The "Technology Symposium for mechanical joining technology" of DVS, EFB and FOSTA has been a fixed date in the joining industry calendar for many years. It was actually planned that the joint colloquium would take place this year in Rostock with the host Fraunhofer IGP. However, the year 2020 has presented us all with enormous challenges against the background of the continuing corona pandemic and so it is unfortunately not yet possible to meet…
Future trends in forming and joining technology
The EuroBLECH Digital Innovation Summit from 27-30 October is a four-day online event with technology showcase, networking and webinars for professionals from the entire technology chain in sheet metal working. As part of this digital EuroBLECH, there will be an EFB webinar on Thursday, 29 October at 15:30 on the subject of Trends for the Future - Forming and Joining Technology.
University research is mainly financed by third-party funding from research associations, foundations, federal and state ministries, either directly or via funding organizations such as the German Federation of Industrial Research Associations (AiF) or the German Research Foundation (DFG), the European Union or industry.
In this sense, the acquisition of third-party funds by professors at a university is often highlighted by universities and…
Knowledge floaters are instructional videos specially developed for digital media that deal with topics from the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information technology and construction engineering in a clear and memorable way with facts, data and figures. The images, animations and videos shown are audiovisually supported by a readable and spoken text. The creators of the knowledge floaters are experts from theory and…
In a new research project, scientists at the Laboratory for material and joining technology (LWF) are developing an analysis system for evaluating fracture surfaces of bonded joints. Building on a successfully completed publicly funded project, the objectives of the new project are the transfer of knowledge from research to industry by providing a marketable system for users and, in the long term, the company foundation. The start-up is also…

Together with ten project partners scientists from the Laboratory for Material and Joining Technology (LWF) at the University of Paderborn are developing a combined physical and virtual process chain for fiber-composite plastic-metal hybrid structures.
Together with ten project partners, coordinated by Brose Fahrzeugteile SE & Co. KG, Bamberg, scientists from the Laboratory for Material and Joining Technology (LWF) at the University of Paderborn are developing a combined physical and virtual process chain for fiber-composite plastic-metal hybrid structures as part of the project "hypro - Holistic implementation of hybrid construction methods into series production". The aim is to make the…
More than 215 participants from industry and research met at the 20th colloquium "Joint Research in Bonding Technology" on 03 and 04 March 2020 in the Marienberg Fortress in Würzburg.
The LWF was prominently represented at the most important event on adhesive technology research in Germany with 6 own lectures and another 3 participations. Besides the young researchers, 2 students of the University of Paderborn also had the chance to get a…
Within the master lecture "Thermal Joining Processes" a one-day excursion to Tucker GmbH STANLEY Engineered Fastening was offered on 20.02.2020. After arriving by bus, the participants were welcomed by the plant manager and head of R&D during a friendly reception with a company presentation. The tour of the plant by the various plant and production managers then provided an impressive and deep insight into the main areas of focus of the plant in…
On 3 and 4 December 2019 the 9th Symposium " Mechanical Joining Technology Research" will take place in Braunschweig. This year's event will be hosted by the Niedersächsisches Forschungszentrum Fahrzeugtechnik (NFF) in Braunschweig in cooperation with the Institut Werkzeugmaschinen und Fertigungstechnik (IWF) and the Institut Füge- und Schweißtechnik (ifs) of the Technische Universität Braunschweig. The symposium on mechanical joining technology…
University research is predominantly financed by third-party funding from research communities, foundations, federal and state ministries, either directly or through funding organisations such as the Federation of Industrial Research Associations (AiF), the European Union or industry. In this sense, the acquisition of third-party funding by professors at a university is often emphasised by universities and universities of applied sciences as a…
Mobility of the future - lightweight design experts present the technology demonstrator from several research projects as part of the FOREL Symposium in Dresden
At this year's FOREL Colloquium, the Research and Technology Centre for resource-efficient lightweight structures in electric mobility brought together scientists and industry representatives from the lightweight design and vehicle industry sector. The focus was on the latest manufacturing technologies for function-integrative lightweight design in multi-material design. The ceremonial highlight was the unveiling of the FOREL MockUp.
Every year, the International Institute of Welding (IIW) organizes a conference at which approximately 500-750 scientists from the field of joining technology meet and exchange information on current research topics. This year the conference took place from 07-12 July in Bratislava.
At the Laboratory for Material and Joining Technology (LWF), a new research project is starting with the project "DigiBody - Digital Process Chain for the Design and Optimization of Joining Technology in Structural Bodies".
Vom 25. bis zum 28. Juni 2019 traf sich der gesamte Lehrstuhl des LWF® zum jährlichen Strategiemeeting in Göteborg. Im Zuge dessen erarbeiteten die Fachgruppen, gemeinsam mit Lehrstuhlinhaber Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerson Meschut, die strategische Ausrichtung. Ferner wurden fachgruppenübergreifende Synergieeffekte identifiziert und in den Lehrstuhlbetrieb integriert.
