Material technology

Lightweight construction is regarded as one of the key technologies of the future as by reducing mass an important contribution can be made to increasing resource efficiency.

By consuming fewer raw materials and energy, costs can also be saved, therefore also making the key technology of lightweight construction economically viable and feasible. Modern construction methods and new materials usually lead to new product design possibilities.

At workshops and information and specialist events held by the Mechatronics Cluster Tyrol and Life Sciences Cluster Tyrol, cluster members can update their knowledge on subjects such as 3D printing, lightweight construction and surface coating and by conducting a survey to identify products that are extremely profitable.
