The “Research Center for Industrial Metal Processing“ (ReCIMP) exists since 2013 and the second project stage started in 2018.
The various research projects are assigned to six high-priority research areas:
• Extension of forming limits
• Advanced high-strength steels
• Alternative production methods
• Flexible production
• Hybrid structures
• Standards for processing of metal
Within this framework, various IUL researchers and students work on specific projects, some of these projects are supported by external funding. Numerous student theses have been completed within ReCIMP or are still running. This team setup provides an excellent basis for high level research activities and continuous input of new ideas of industrial relevance.
Detailed information and selected results can be found on the respective project pages.
