Mechanical engineering workshop

Examples from the workshop production

Every day, our workshop produces individually manufactured workpieces for use in the systems developed at the institute. The spectrum ranges from basic, manually manufactured workpieces to highly complex 5-axis simultaneously milled components. The components are programmed and manufactured directly from the CAD model – without the detour via a technical drawing.
