For Heidelberg University, life scientist Joachim Wittbrodt is the new spokesperson of the cluster, which is organised jointly with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). He shares this office with Karlsruhe physicist Martin Wegener. Their two deputy spokespersons are Christine Selhuber-Unkel for Heidelberg University, and Uli Lemmer, who was re-elected for KIT. In this cluster, scientists from the two institutions work on innovative technologies and materials for additive manufacturing processes that are digital and scalable, in order to make 3D printing more precise, rapid, and efficient. Prof. Wittbrodt and Prof. Selhuber-Unkel highlight that, besides interdisciplinarity and collaborative creativity, the cluster's scientific transfer activities will be strengthened. The cluster conference on the topic of "Future 3D Additive Manufacturing" will take place in April.
