The term “Additive Production” designates production technologies that build up components in layers directly from a computer model. In the future, it should be possible to produce plastic and metal components from the computer with just a click – in the same way that we produce print-outs today. The SFB 814 deals with fundamental scientific questions related to this hugely promising technology. An improved understanding of the behaviour of powders in production is to form the basis for the manufacture of new and optimised powder materials, as well as for the optimisation of machine constructions and process settings.

Chemists and physicists are working together in this special area of research to understand elementary reactions and to influence their course and results.
-
Goal of this CRC is to successfully translate immunological knowledge, based on a manipulation of the immune system, i.e. immune intervention, to therapeutic practise.
-
Major research goal of SFB796 is to understand the molecular and structural basis of host-pathogen interactions. To this end microbial effectors and their host targets are studied in plant and mammalian systems.

Synthetic carbon allotropes such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene currently represent one of the most promising materials families with enormous potential for high-performance applications in the fields of nanoelectronics, optoelectonics, hydrogen storage, sensors and reinforcements of polymers based on their unprecedented electronic, optical, mechanical and chemical properties.
-
In the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio scientific fundamentals for an economic production of active structural components are worked out.
-
Within the scope of the development of the process class sheet-bulk metal forming in TCRC 73 the objective of the research work is to investigate a process combination of deep drawing and upsetting suited for manufacturing functional components with shape elements out of thin sheets metals.

The main idea and novelty of invasive computing is to introduce resource-aware programming support in the sense that a given program gets the ability to explore and dynamically spread its computations to neighbour processors similar to a phase of invasion, then to execute portions of code of high parallelism degree in parallel based on the available (invasible) region on a given multi-processor architecture.

Monocrystalline superalloys are key materials for turbine blades in the modern gas turbines used in aerospace technology and energy supply. It is for this reason that they are just as indispensable for the mobility of modern society as they are for its sustainable supply of electricity. In gas turbines it is only possible to achieve a higher level of efficiency with fewer pollutant emissions via a new monocrystalline technology – and this is to be at the core of the research carried out in Transregio 103.
