The Manufacturing Technology Institute (MTI) and the Chair of Technology of Manufacturing Processes at RWTH Aachen University have been synonymous with successful and pioneering research in manufacturing technology for decades worldwide. In close cooperation with national and international partners from industry and science, we shape the future of production technology in diverse and practical research and development projects.

The machining technology department develops innovative solutions for modelling, design, monitoring and regulation of demanding cutting processes such as milling, turning, rooms and drilling for the production of complex products. In order to be able to produce efficiently and flexibly with ever shorter development cycles, the networking and adaptivity of process chains is increasingly required. We work on this in an interdisciplinary team with over 25 employees – based on a profound system understanding from the foundations of machining to industrial application. In order to optimize manufacturing technologies and preserve the manufacturing industry in high-wage countries, it is important to make manufacturing processes faster and more efficient. to design more cost-efficient and to predict tool and material behavior. This significantly shortens the product-to-market time. The Addressing this challenge requires new modeling approaches for digitized description, analysis and prediction of process results. The RWTH is certified as a family-friendly university. RWTH offers a variety of health, counselling and prevention services (e.g. university sports) as part of a university health management. There is a wide range of training and the possibility of obtaining a job ticket for employees and civil servants.

The project is located within the framework of the large-scale research association “Production Launch Center Aviation (PLCA). With a total volume of around €50 million, Fraunhofer IPT, Access e.V., MTU Aero Engines AG and RWTH Aachen University close the gap between research and industrial application in the production of efficient, sustainable and economic aviation components. In the ManuSafeNextGen – Multiscale model-based manufacturing of safety-critical engine components subproject, you will work on the digital, model-based description, monitoring and evaluation of cutting processes for the production of next-generation safety-critical engine components. The aim is to link process, workpiece and material models via suitable software interfaces in order to physically predict the process loading and resulting edge zone properties. The focus is on the development of a digital surface integrity twin based on real process data and allowing model-based process control.
