How Brandenburg’s networks promote innovation
Predicting the future is an art that humanity has so far, despite its best efforts, not been able to master. Now and then, however, humanity can almost do it—when it comes to lightweight design, for example. After all, lightweight construction materials are clearly the construction materials of the future. As the demand for them increases by hundreds of percentage points, they are setting economic standards. A strong network of companies and scientific institutions assigns a leading role to the state of Brandenburg.
Knowhow Wilhelms GmbH combines 3D printing with arc welding. In this way they benefit from the advantages of the printing process and at the same time achieve a print rate of 600 cubic centimetres an hour.
