From two-dimensional load-bearing structures to three-dimensional, load-bearing objects and functional integration in the small-scale sector - Dr. Landmann sees great advantages in these areas for the construction material glass, which also has clear advantages due to its chemical resistance and temperature stability. When asked about the expected developments in this decade, Dr. Landmann is confident:…

There are some challenges in the machining of buildup welded structures by milling. For a perfect surface, in particular, there must be no burrs that cannot be polished out later. "The floor under our robot contained a material that was slightly yielding," reports Thomas Engel, project manager at spannverbund GmbH. This made machining by robot…

"In my eyes, there is still a great deal to be researched in glass construction, especially with regard to material properties and new product developments," explains Dr. Baitinger. In construction, glass is mostly used in the building envelope and is therefore one of the decisive factors for the appearance and physical properties of a building.…

"Newly defined goals are not setbacks," says Dr. Landmann. "If requirements on the market or at the customer change or can be grasped more sharply, a modification or adjustment of the target in question is part of the process." Therefore, changes occurring in the middle of the development process are always accepted positively and taken…
