At the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT in Aachen, we are creating the production of the future with more than 450 employees – digital, sustainable and resilient. In the department »Glass and Precision Manufacturing«, we deal with the replicative manufacturing of glass components. High-precision components are used more and more frequently, for example in the manufacture of optics, laser system components, medical technology, and tool manufacturing. Among others, precision glass molding (PGM) is a replicative production process which is often suitable for the manufacture of optical components. The process must be monitored via sensors installed on the machine and a web-based app that allows visualization of the parameters during the process.
