Production at the leading edge of technology / Lecture Notes in Production Engineering (PDF)

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernd-Arno Behrens studied mechanical engineering at the University of Hannover and received his doctorate in 1997 in the field of solid forming. Subsequently, he took over a leading position in industry. Since October 2003 he heads the Institute for Forming Technology and Forming Machinery. In addition, he is spokesman of the board of the Material Testing Institute for Materials and Production Technology (MPA) in Hannover since 2004. In 2005 he also assumed the function of managing partner of IPH - Institut für Integrierte Produktion + Hannover gemeinnützige GmbH. He is, among others, speaker of the Collaborative Research Center 1153 "Tailored Forming", as well as member of the SFB 653 and location speaker of the TR73. He is a member of the Scientific Council of the AIF, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Umformtechnik and an associate member of the International Academy of Production Engineering (CIRP).

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Brosius studied mechanical engineering at the Technische Fachhochschule (TFH) Berlin and received his doctorate from the TU Dortmund in 2005. Since 2012, he holds the professorship for Forming Manufacturing Processes at the TU Dresden, where he also is Director of the Institute for Manufacturing Technology since October 2018.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Hintze studied mechanical engineering at the TU Braunschweig, where he became research assistant working on gear grinding and dressing. In 1985 he moved to the TU Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH) and received his doctorate in 1990 dealing with the model-based chip break assessment. Subsequently, he was responsible at Krupp Widia for the development and rapid prototyping of indexable inserts, the test field and demonstration center. In 1999 he took over the production engineering department of IPMT at the TU Hamburg-Harburg. His main areas of research include machining technologies for lightweight structures, e.g. for CFRP and titanium, and extremely hard and soft machining. Since 2008 he is in a
