3D-CopperPrint3D-CopperPrint investigates the use of additive manufacturing (3D printing) for the generation of copper interconnects on adaptive spatial circuit carriers. This process can be used to fabricate hybrid electro-mechanical components as an alternative to existing methods. The approach is based on the application of copper-filled coatings on the surface of three-dimensional objects and the subsequent photothermal laser sintering of the paths.Team:Year: 2018Funding: BMWi, AiF (IGF)Duration: 10/2018 – 06/2020

TRR 123 PlanOS – B01 Offset and inkjet printing of multimode waveguidesHow can optical waveguides be printed? Professors and young researchers from Freiburg and Hanover are trying to answer this question. The sub-project B01 has the task of producing multimodal waveguides for high light output with a width of ten to several hundred microns. The advantages of two printing procedures are used to do so: flexographic printing with high throughput and low cost, and inkjet printing with a large variability and high resolution.Year: 2013Funding: DFG - Transregio 123Duration: 01/2013 - 12/2017

HYMNOS – Hybrid Numerical Optical SimulationNumerical methods for the calculation of light distributions in optical media can profit significantly from current trends in computer technology. The aim of this project is therefore the combination of different modeling approaches on different temporal and spatial scales. For this purpose, different aspects from interdisciplinary subject areas in physics and engineering sciences are investigated using models.Year: 2015Funding: Lower SaxonyDuration: 10/2015 – 09/2018
