The auto­mo­ti­ve indus­try is under­go­ing rapid chan­ge. Efforts to redu­ce CO2 emis­si­ons demand new forms of dri­ve. Inno­va­ti­ve machi­ning solu­ti­ons were pre­sen­ted using examp­les of the machi­ning of dra­wing parts for elec­tric vehic­les, inte­ri­ors and honey­comb material.

No mat­ter whe­re the jour­ney takes you — a motor­home, regard­less of its shape, offers a home, even if only tem­po­r­a­ri­ly. This is pre­cis­e­ly the reason why peo­p­le per­cei­ve this inte­ri­or, just as with a car, as an indi­vi­du­al living space that should adapt to per­so­nal living needs.

If you are loo­king for sea­ting fur­ni­tu­re for a hotel or a bre­wery that not only looks good but is also resi­li­ent, you can hard­ly avo­id the solid wood manu­fac­tu­rer Richard Weis­sa­cher in Essen­bach near Lands­hut. The com­pa­ny has had a CNC machi­ning cent­re from Rei­chen­ba­cher sin­ce 1999.

“A con­scious invest­ment in future capa­ci­ties” — that sounds dar­ing at first, espe­ci­al­ly if you mean a lar­ge CNC mil­ling sys­tem inclu­ding robot con­nec­tion. But for a major sup­pli­er to the auto­mo­ti­ve and aero­space indus­tries, it is a well-con­side­red step to be able to react to mar­ket chan­ges at any time and to ensu­re eco­no­mic stability.

And when, as in this case, a pre­mi­um Ger­man car­ma­ker pre­fers a par­ti­cu­lar pro­ces­sing method, Fau­re­cia invests in a spe­cial machi­ne to pro­du­ce first-class inte­ri­or parts for its new luxu­ry SUV range.

In Coburg, the name “Uni­ver­si­ty of Appli­ed Sci­en­ces” is pro­gram­me. Tho­se respon­si­ble at the Insti­tu­te for Pro­to­ty­pe and Model Tech­no­lo­gy (IPM) have inter­na­li­sed this, link theo­ry with prac­ti­ce and defi­ne them­sel­ves as a deve­lo­p­ment ser­vice pro­vi­der for indus­try and trade.
