Services, Research & Development
Testing and Measuring
The IBF offers a wide range of testing methods, which are used in research projects as well as for service.
The portfolio ranges from conventional tasks such as the determination of flow curves to in-house developed innovative test methods such as the Hot-Gas Bulge Test.
Process Simulation and Material Modelling
Production and Experiments
The extensive equipment of the IBF can be utilized for feasibility studies and production tests. Test series can be used for process design and optimization as well as for validation of simulation models.
In addition to test series, prototype and small series production of sheet metal parts and bulk metal parts is also possible.
Mechanical Workshop
The institute has a well-equipped workshop. This is where specimens for the various testing methods and forming tools are manufactured. Moreover, devices, fixtures, testing equipment and apparatus are designed and built.
The equipment reaches from conventional lathes to CNC milling machines and a Water Jet Cutting System.
