IPP Institute of Product Development and Production Technologies
The Institute of Product Development and Production Technologies (IPP) researches and supplies knowledge to aid the development of sustainable solutions in product development and production technology. We are committed to transforming the economy from a linear to a circular economy and offer expertise, experience and infrastructure in circular economy design, product development, digitalisation of machines, additive manufacturing and manufacturing laboratory.
The IPP in brief
The IPP is divided into five research groups that each deal with a contemporary topic in product and production technology: Circular Economy Design, Product Development, Digitalisation in Machines, Additive Manufacturing and Manufacturing Laboratory. We demonstrate our competencies in an extensive list of research projects and scientific publications. Thanks to our state-of-the-art infrastructure, we can offer high-quality, practice-based teaching and conduct applied research. We implement and test our developed solutions with experimental design, prototypes and test setups.
