Projects
Following projects were chosen for a sponsorship by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy within the scope of "PAiCE"
VariKa
Connected product and production engineering using the example of different types of vehicle body models
The space available for the car battery is largely dependent on the car’s propulsion system. A hybrid car requires a different battery tray than a fully electric car. Under the VariKa project, a model kit for battery trays is being developed and the associated process chain designed. What’s special about this is that the trays are mounted to the car using structural components that are printed using 3D technology. Before the trays are mounted, the individual elements are joined into a battery tray without any fixed manufacturing equipment being needed, making the manufacturing of small batches profitable.
