Circular table saws are not necessarily a typical field of activity for lightweight design, as they must be stable and heavy. Torun Bark Magnesium GmbH shows why lightweight design still makes sense here and even brings advantages for users and the environment with gantries and table tops made of die-cast magnesium.

The Materials Testing Institute of the University of Stuttgart has developed a method based on friction stir welding which can be used to combine aluminum and steel sheets of different thicknesses.

Scientists at the Institute of Vehicle Systems Engineering at the KIT have developed a program that combines process simulation with machine learning and AI. This allows the algorithm to recognize patterns and estimate the manufacturability of a component.

Together with prospective engineers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the service provider Parare has designed, adapted and manufactured an electric motor housing with integrated cooling channel.
