Welcome to our website!
At the Chair of Engineering Design, we research, improve and validate new processes, methods and tools to support demanding development- and design activities. We are active in the fields of virtual product development and design methodology, machine elements and tribology as well as lightweight design. Through our research and teaching activities, we create the foundation for innovative, new or optimized products and thus contribute to maintaining and strengthening the industrial base in Europe. We would like to invite you to learn more about us during your stay on our website!

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sandro Wartzack (KTmfk, FAU) is delighted to have been awarded the Erskine Visiting Fellowship from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. Within the framework of this fellowship, Prof. Wartzack will teach students in the transition from Bachelor's to Master's studie...
The established paradigm of virtual product development transforms to digital engineering. However, optimizing processes by integrating data-driven methods poses challenges for small and medium-sized companies, as approaches for targeted process analysis and method identification are missing. In the...
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings deposited on the surfaces of joint replacements have the potential to enhance the biotribological behavior and longevity. In our new published article, we employ an UHMWPE (PE) ball-on-three CoCr or Ti alloy pin configuration lubricated by simulated body fluid to c...
The transformation of virtual product development to digital engineering requires a successful integration of data-driven methods into existing product development processes. The lack of knowledge about these methods, their performance and limitations are major burdens in their application, especial...
As part of this year's design project course (KoPra), the challenge for the students was to develop an autonomously driving vehicle for picking, transporting and placing a "KTmfk egg", which is controlled using a microcontroller. For this, the students' vehicles had to cope with the autonomous deliv...
According to the citation database Scopus, Prof. Sandro Wartzack, as author and co-author of 472 peer-reviewed publications, achieves an h-index of 30 with a total of 3,678 citations. "I am pleased that we reach so many readers with our publications, who then cite us in their scientific articles. Th...
The design of modern mobility concepts has to account for developments such as the finite nature of fossil fuels, global warming, and the increasing population density in urban centers. In urban environments in particular, so-called micromobility solutions offer a way of covering short distances (e....
Topology Optimization is an established method for the development of highly performant and innovative structural components. However, the computationally obtained optimization results have to be tediously redesigned in practical product development. Within the research project „TopoRestruct“, funde...
