The use of modern plastics technologies, the substitution of traditional materials with innovative, natural fiber-reinforced materials and challenges in practical application were the topics of the "Workshop Talks", now taking place for the second time at the HSZG. The aim of this series of events, which is organized by the Dresden Chamber of Crafts, the Zittau branch of the Dresden Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the HSZG, is to bring scientists and practical users closer together - so that research results can be transferred into new or optimized production and product lines as quickly as possible. To this end, research and development work as well as the university's wide range of services are presented. For this reason, in addition to lectures, the focus of these meetings is on viewing laboratory equipment and facilities.
Frank Henschel and the newly appointed Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Scholz also discussed the close cooperation between the university and the Zittau-based working group of the Fraunhofer Institute for Toolmaking and Forming Technology.
The most important part of this event - these are the discussions "on the sidelines". This late afternoon once again showed that there is an extensive need for information on the part of the business community and that this event format is well suited to overcoming the hurdles in establishing contacts.
As a special highlight, the Polyjet 3D printer from the
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
The next "workshop meeting" will take place in six months' time. Initial suggestions have already been made for the topics that will then take center stage.
