Fraunhofer IGCV

Fraunhofer IGCV stands for application-driven research with focus on efficient engineering, networked production and smart multi-material solutions. As a future Fraunhofer institute, the Augsburg research institution drives innovation on the level of manufacturing processes and material sciences, machines and process chains as well as factory and enterprise networks.

In an effort to transfer knowledge from research and development into industrial applications, approx. 150 scientists generate individual solutions for the German industry. Our unique selling proposition lies in interdisciplinary solutions in the fields of casting, composite and processing technology. As part of the Fraunhofer Group for Production -- an association of production technology institutes --, we support our partners with short-term, mid-term and long-term research projects. Thus, we contribute to ensuring a sustainable competitive edge in Germany and Europe.
