Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Programmable Materials CPM

The future of materials is the combination of logic and material. Functionalities are written directly into the structure of the material and thus replace complete systems including sensors, actuators and power supplies.

Imagine a world with more space. Where you can hardly see machines, devices or automations because they are directly integrated into materials and surfaces. Imagine...

Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM

The Fraunhofer IWM is a research and development partner for industry and public contracting bodies concerning the topics of component and systems reliability, safety, durability and functionality. The Fraunhofer IWM’s »mechanics of materials« approach is used to identify weaknesses and defects in materials and components, determine their causes and develop solutions that lead to the safer use of components as well as the development of functional materials and resource efficient manufacturing processes.

Innovation Plattform MaterialDigital PMD
The Material digitalization Platform.

The present initiative to digitize materials is of particular strategic importance for Germany as a business location, which can only be adequately addressed by pooling the efforts of all stakeholders. Due to the diversity of materials and the processes associated with their production and use, the complexity of the lifecycles of materials and the multitude of academic and industrial participants impose a huge challenge. There are many scattered activities, but there is a lack of bundling of the efforts of all stakeholders, which can eliminate redundancies and a lack of acceptance and advance a common basis in the digitalization of materials.
