EXC 1075: Merge Technologies for Multifunctional Lightweight Structures - MERGE

这一卓越集群的主要目标是融合适用于资源节约型大规模生产高性能和功能密度的轻质结构的基本技术。目前针对金属、塑料或纺织品等不同材料组的制造过程必须通过融合和相互联系来合并，以生产连续的大规模技术，以生产高性能结构。这种技术合并的特点是显著节省能源和材料。这种材料的利用在轻量化结构中本质上是有效的，这减少了移动应用中的消耗和二氧化碳排放。卓越集群的愿景是根据资源节约型制造技术的中心思想，挖掘技术融合和轻量化结构的联合节约潜力，以生产资源节约型组件。为此，开姆尼茨卓越集群正在推行一项长期战略，即二价资源效率战略或BRE战略。这需要工程学和自然科学之间的密切合作，一方面是与技术和设计有关的工作领域，另一方面是与设计有关的工作领域。构成这项研究基础的基本生产方法是纺织品、塑料和金属加工方法，其特点是高度灵活性和大规模生产兼容性，并结合可再生性。在开姆尼茨理工大学(CUT)及其附属机构和弗劳恩霍夫研究所，这些基础技术以及微系统集成已经在早期阶段开发出来，将所有制造方法集中在一个研究地点：开姆尼茨大学技术园区。这种地理上的接近促进了进程合并所需的知识转移。卓越集群作为一个新的结构和组织单位，集中了轻型结构资源节约型技术领域的核心能力，并允许国内和国际公司在集群平台上进行合作和参与。

The main objective of this Cluster of Excellence is the fusion of fundamental technologies suitable for the resource-efficient mass-production of lightweight structures of high-performance and functional density. Manufacturing processes that are currently discrete for different groups of materials such as metals, plastics or textiles have to be merged, through fusion and interlinking, to produce continuous large-scale technologies for the production of high-performance structures. A technology merger of this kind is characterised by significant savings of energy and materials. The material utilisation is inherently efficient in lightweight structures, which reduces both consumption and CO2-emissions in mobile applications. The vision of the Cluster of Excellence is to tap into the joint saving potential of technology fusion and lightweight structures pursuant to the central idea of resource-efficient manufacturing technologies that produce resource-efficient components. To this end, the Chemnitz Cluster of Excellence is pursuing a long-term strategy of bivalent resource efficiency or BRE strategy. This requires close cooperation between the engineering and natural sciences, on the one hand, the technology-related and design-related work domains, on the other. The fundamental production methods that form the basis for this research are textile, plastics and metal processing methods characterised by high flexibility and mass-production compatibility, combined with reproducibility. At Chemnitz University of Technology (CUT), its affiliated institutes and Fraunhofer Institutes, these fundamental technologies as well as microsystems integration have already been developed at an early stage, concentrating all manufacturing methods at one research location: the Technology Campus of the Chemnitz University. This geographical proximity facilitates the knowledge transfer necessary for process merging. The Cluster of Excellence as a new structural and organisational unit concentrates the core competencies in the field of resource-efficient technologies for lightweight structures and allows the cooperation and involvement of national and international companies in the Cluster platform.
