Infrastructure

RWTH Aachen Campus offers companies a wide range of rentable infrastructure for prototype development or product testing. Whether it’s a 3D printer, a 5G research network, a system test bench for wind turbines or premises site for creative innovation processes – the professional expertise of RWTH Aachen University scientists is the basis for all projects.

The 5G research network includes four indoor networks with about 7,000 m² in 3 machine halls and one outdoor network on an area of one square kilometer – it is currently used for projects in production technology, logistics and mobility.

In the demonstration tool shop of the Tooling Academy, companies manufacture tool parts and components on more than 500 m² and are accompanied until series production.
More

The facilities in the machine hall with the size of nearly 650 m² are used to develop composite-based multi-material components and associated production concepts, including a Schuler press, thermoforming lines as well as robotic and gripper systems.

The equipment of the Digital Additive Production (DAP) represents the entire digital and physical process chain of additive manufacturing. It includes a variety of machine systems for metal and plastic-based manufacturing and is used, for example, in consortium projects of the ACAM Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing.

In specially designed system lab spaces, technical and biological components are combined to form biohybrid medical systems and tested, such as cardiovascular system implants and lung support systems.
More

The Center for Wind Power Drives with its 4MW system test rig for wind turbines offers an experimental hall including an installation area, a workshop and storage areas on more than 2,500 m².
More

In a real production environment, companies can experience Industry 4.0 live, test the possibilities of 5G, and develop and manufacture prototypes in the field of metal forming.
More

Approximately 1,900 m² of hall space provides companies with facilities for development, testing and prototype construction in the field of e-mobility – from the battery packaging laboratory and the Battery Abuse Center to the film coating line.
More

It is examined in the Smart Application Innovation Lab, the Smart Systems Innovation Lab and the Service Science Innovation Lab in the Smart Logistics Cluster whether technologies already have the maturity and robustness for reliable industrial use.

Implementing innovation processes iteratively: The Camp of the Innovation Factory offers companies space for creativity and access to technologies and workshops to transform ideas into real products better, faster and more leanly.
More

At INCWorX, companies will find an inspiring environment of around 800 m² with the opportunity to carry out innovation projects away from ingrained structures and corporate routine.
More

On the 10,000 m² reference construction site, new construction processes, networked machines and the use of robots are tested under real construction site conditions.
More

In addition to the technical infrastructure, companies have access to a wide range of event spaces on RWTH Aachen Campus, from seminar rooms for small groups to the multifunctional hall for 400 people or the atrium in the Smart Logistics Cluster for trade fairs or conferences.

The Enterprise Integration Center is the contact for the premises in the Smart Logisitk Cluster.
