Future vision for human-centred, intelligent manufacturing 2035 at the FutureSAX Innovation Forum „Mensch – Maschine – Mittelstand“ presented
Around 110 stakeholders from science and industry discussed how Industry 5.0 can make Saxony's SMEs fit for the future at the futureSAX innovation forum "Mensch - Maschine - Mittelstand" on 27 March 2025. After the welcome and opening of the event by the hosts from Mittweida University of Applied Sciences and the initiators of FutureSAX, Dr habil. Franziska Bocklisch explained in her keynote speech how industrial manufacturing is changing.

Interview on the topic „No fear of the human factor“ published in Swiss industry magazine „Technik und Wissen“
In the current issue of the specialist magazine "Technik und Wissen" on the subject of "Modern Interfaces", future trends in human-centred production are addressed. In an interview with Dr habil. Franziska Bocklisch, questions are asked about a more value-adding interaction between man and machine and current approaches from research are reported on.

Materials technology colloquium goes international – Research meets industry in Chemnitz
With the 24th edition of the Materials Technology Colloquium (WTK), we have taken an important step towards internationalisation: For the first time, the conference was held in English - in the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz. Around 220 participants from Germany and abroad accepted our invitation to discuss current developments in materials science and engineering and to strengthen the dialogue between science and industry.

Project on copper coating of cellular wax structures for customised heat exchangers completed
Geometrically defined, cellular hollow structures offer a significantly higher surface/volume ratio compared to conventional plate heat exchangers. They are therefore ideal for efficient heat exchangers and offer advantages such as design flexibility compared to stochastically moulded foams. This enables miniaturisation and weight reduction, but there is currently a lack of economical manufacturing processes. The aim of the CORNET project WaxCelMet is to develop innovative hollow metal structures and manufacturing processes - from the design of flow-optimised structures to implementation using additive manufacturing and wax injection moulding through to electroplating with copper.

How do heat-resistant steels behave in H2/CH4 combustion atmospheres?
Prof Lampke and the team from the WOT professorship are investigating this question together with Prof Krause and his team from the Chair of Gas and Thermal Engineering at TU Bergakademie Freiberg (TUBAF) in the AiF-IGF project HYMES. On 26 March 2025, both research units met for an initial internal kick-off meeting. The main aim of the project is to generate reliable data for the safe and efficient utilisation of H2 in thermal process plants.
