Additive manufacturing technologies for functionalized
lightweight structures

The global distribution of resources under fair conditions is the essential basis Period
for the survival of societies worth living in. This means that the high-perfor- 01.05.2020 – 30.04.2021
mance industrial nations in particular must find new ways of combining a high
standard of living with a significantly reduced use of resources. Project Director
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Niels Modler
Against this background, the GeRusAM project expands the international part-
nership between Russia and Germany to jointly research future-oriented cut- Contact Person
ting-edge technologies in the field of additive manufacturing technologies for Christian Vogel
functionalized multi-material lightweight structures.

Kazan National Research Technical
Through the intensive exchange between the scientists, individual intersec- University (KAI)
tions within the partner institutions‘ fields of work can be identified, whereby
the prevailing ways of thinking are understood and linguistic and cultural hur-
dles are overcome, thus forming the basis for efficient and consistent re-
search cooperation between the partners involved.
