Highly reflective layers enable material processing with MEMS scanners

With their enormous power density, laser beams can weld and cut steel plates, polish workpieces or build up entire engine blocks layer by layer from metal powder in 3D printing. Highly reflective layers make it possible to use micromirror scanners in MEMS technology for precise path control.

Smart Window - Augmented Reality for ship management

With the joint project "Smart Window", Fraunhofer ISIT has worked together with partners from industry and the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics (IGD) on an intelligent solution for implementing an augmented reality display on a ship's bridge in order to process, filter and display all relevant data for ship operation in the future. Embedding the AR display in a window of the ship's bridge offers the possibility of displaying a variety of information directly in the skipper's field of vision, thus facilitating the skipper's work.

Wetting and solderability testing at Fraunhofer ISIT

In addition to the evaluation of complete assemblies, the business unit Microfabrication Processes of Fraunhofer ISIT also offers the evaluation of printed circuit boards and components used in electronics production. The focus here is on the wetting properties of the PCB pads and component connections, which serve as the basis for solderability.
