Research Services
The research centres and research groups at FHV have highly specialised equipment and infrastructures that are used in cooperation with partners from industry and science.
Contact information for the respective experts can be found in the individual research areas.
Material coating
For more than a decade, material coating has been an essential core competence at the FHV. Dry etching by means of Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) in particular, as well as coating by means of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), are important pillars of our research and development work.
Material characterisation
Material characterisation at micro and nano level is carried out at the UAS using a wide range of high-performance equipment. The portfolio includes scanning electron microscopy (SEM), correlative Raman and atomic force microscopy as well as µ-tomography.
Laser processing
The fabrication and transfer of microstructures are among the most important tasks in applied research and industrial development. By means of optical lithography and laser micromachining, we enable mechanical fine machining and are continuously opening up new manufacturing fields in the micro area.
Environmental simulations
The aging of components plays an important role in sustainable product development. In our specially equipped ovens, climatic chambers and our temperature shocker, we cover a wide range of temperature and humidity ranges and enable rapid lifetime testing (Accelerated Lifetime Testing).
XR/UX Innovation Lab
The visualization of individual process steps, entire production lines or even the use of VR-based learning environments is playing an increasingly important role, not only in industry. If these systems are also combined with modern measurement systems of psycho-physiological indicators on humans, the result is our holistic VR/UX innovation lab.
