Research at DIT
Pioneering & Vibrant
About the Technology Campus Cham
Since its foundation in 2010, the Technology Transfer Centre for Intelligent Production at the Campus Cham of Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) has been a pioneer in the applied research and development of future-oriented manufacturing technologies. With a clear focus on additive manufacturing (3D printing), automation technology and AI-supported image processing, the centre has established itself as a competent partner for industry and science. Training courses, e.g. in the field of additive design, are also part of our range of services.
Innovative solutions along the entire value chain are developed together with companies in state-of-the-art laboratories. Through the close integration of research, teaching and industrial application, the centre makes a decisive contribution to the digital transformation of production and to strengthening Bavaria as a location for innovation.
In addition to the Technology Transfer Centre for Intelligent Production, the Technology Transfer Centre for Intelligent Robotics has also been located on the Cham campus since 2023 and is available as an attractive partner for all topics relating to mobile and stationary robotics. With one Bachelor's and four Master's degree programmes at Campus Cham, we benefit from the close link between theory and practice.
The TC Cham Intelligent Production works closely with a large number of regional and national partners from industry and education. The city and district of Cham have also been valuable partners since the beginning of the campus location of DIT in Cham.
Projects
Expertise
At the Technology Campus Cham - Focus on Intelligent Production at Deggendorf Institute of Technology, we combine interdisciplinary expertise to develop innovative solutions for industrial practice. Our research in our on-site laboratories focuses on highly topical issues in digital and networked production - with a particular focus on:
We research and develop industrial additive manufacturing processes, in particular:
- Selective laser sintering and selective laser melting for the production of complex metal and plastic components
- Topology optimisation for weight- and material-efficient design
- Design for Additive Manufacturing for optimal utilisation of design freedom in 3D printing
- Post-processing and quality assurance of additively manufactured components
- Prototype construction from metal and plastic printing
- Static and fluid dynamic simulation
- Reverse engineering
Our automation projects aim to increase efficiency, flexibility and process reliability:
- Industrialisation of new and existing systems
- Hardware and software engineering
- Integration of industrial robots into existing production processes
- Sensor-supported process monitoring
- Flexible automation solutions for small and medium-sized series
- Human-robot collaboration for safe and ergonomic workplaces
- Drive and process engineering
- Simulation and modelling
We rely on AI-based methods to intelligently analyse and control industrial processes:
- Machine learning for pattern recognition and process optimisation
- Deep learning for automated image analysis in quality assurance
- Real-time image processing for inline inspection and error detection
- Data-driven process analysis for continuous improvement
Partners
The Technology Campus Cham cooperates regionally with partners from the industrial and educational sector. In addition, there are numerous cooperation partners involved in our research projects of the individual working groups.
