TUM LPL - Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design

Who are potential lead users for wire-based electron beam additive manufacturing (WEBAM)? This week, three dedicated student teams presented their initial results of the Lead User Project Seminar at TUM LPL - Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design. The course is offered in collaboration with the Chair of Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) led by Prof. Dr. Joachim Henkel and the company pro-beam Group. The teams delivered inspiring insights and creative approaches to unlock the potential of WEBAM in plant engineering, mobility and energy applications. Thanks to all participants, organizers, and especially Dr. Thorsten Löwer and Stephan Kox from  ProBeam for supporting this project! We are excited to see the final results in the coming stages. #design #designmethods #engineeringdesign #innovation #leaduser #DfAM #Additivemanufacturing #AM #webam #lpl #TechnologyManagement #Collaboration #topologyoptimization Dr. Christian Hackl, Leonard Hanschur Lucien Zapfe, Klemens Hohnbaum, Markus Zimmermann, Markus Mörtl

Congratulations to Dr. Nuno Miguel Martins Pacheco for his successful PhD defense on December 6, 2024! 🎓 Special thanks to Prof. Annette Diefenthaler from Professorship Design and Transdisciplinarity for serving as 2nd examiner and to Prof. Klaus Bengler from the Lehrstuhl für Ergonomie/ Human Factors TUM for chairing! Dr. Nuno Miguel Martins Pacheco showed that Hackathons go beyond rapid prototyping - they enable students to navigate the fuzzy front end of product development. His research highlights how structured approaches can assess effort, learning, and product quality. The study was conducted on THINK.MAKE.START. by TUM and UnternehmerTUM. We wish Nuno Miguel Martins Pacheco all the best for his future. 📚🔬 #PhD #design #lpl #education

Our latest lab course, Modular Robot Design (https://lnkd.in/dFWCeXnk) has come to an exciting closure! Four TUM student teams showcased their innovative designs and solutions in just 7 days. From conceptualization to prototyping, they demonstrated exceptional creativity, problem-solving skills, and collaboration. We're proud to be part in shaping the next generation of roboticists and innovators. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming courses and projects! Thanks to Maximilian Amm, Akhil Sathuluri, Ludwig Krämer and Ruslan Cherednychenko for organizing the lab course “Modular Robot Design“. #robotics #lpl #engineeringdesign

Discussing the latest advancements in research and industry in lightweight design! ✈️ We successfully concluded this year's Munich Symposium on Lightweight Design 2024, together with the Universität der Bundeswehr München and Hochschule München at Technische Universität München, organized by TUM LPL - Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design. We thank our guests and our speakers: * Rainer Arelt from Airbus Helicopters * Finn Hendrik Christiansen from Technische Universität Hamburg * Miguel Nuno from Aurora Swiss Aerospace GmbH * Sven Lenhardt from Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) * Raphael Höfer from Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg * Jens Bold from Boeing and Emre Ertürk from Universität der Bundeswehr München Speakers are now invited to submit their contributions as papers for the conference proceedings by Springer. Stay tuned for updates!   #MSLD #lightweightdesign #additivemanufacturing #optimization #industry #research

🚨Reminder! Join us tomorrow for the final session of the Munich Symposium on Lightweight Design at TUM.

🎆 That´s a wrap on this year's Formnext - Where ideas take shape.   It was an exciting and intensive four days with interesting discussion partners from #industry and #research. We are also delighted with how many students visited the fair and were interested in our research topics and #AdditiveManufacturing.   Once again, we would like to thank the participating chairs from Technische Universität München, the start-ups from TUM Venture Labs, and all research assistants involved for their support throughout the week, both with the preparations and the booth duty. We would also like to thank the entire Bayern Innovativ GmbH team for their wonderful support and the supply during the week. Attached are some impressions of our booth with the amazing selection of exhibition pieces. We look forward to seeing you again in 2025. 📅

🚀 Project closure at LPL! 🚀 The Institute of Micro Technology and Medical Device Technology (MIMED) and TUM LPL - Laboratory for Product Development and Lightweight Design of the Technische Universität München, together with its industry partners  voxeljet AG and HAWE Hydraulik SE completed the three-year project LCL-Robots – Automatic design of Low-Cost Lightweight Robots. We are particularly excited about the set of tools developed that enable building modular robots with an emphasis on low-cost and lightweight. We hope that this brings us one step closer to democratizing building and using robotic systems in everyday life. The attached pictures show the robots built at LPL as a contribution to the project. We extend our thanks to the Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Landesentwicklung und Energie (StMWi) for making this collaboration possible. We thank the members, Tim Lueth, Christoph Parhofer, Felix Pancheri, Konstantin Strübig Markus Zimmermann, Maximilian Amm, Anand Suresh, Jintin Frank, Tobias Wanninger, Lukas Krischer, Akhil Sathuluri voxeljet AG, Ingo Gnüchtel, Sebastian Schmalzl HAWE, Sven Müller and all the other colleagues involved in the project. #robotics #lpl #requirementsengineering #optimization #topologyoptimization #optimizationarchitectures
