The Mobility Department uses various casting and forming technologies to prototype complex components, test samples and demonstrators. A modern 3D printer ensures the provision of cost-effective prototypes based on neutral CAD data. Furthermore, the Department employs casting methods to realise small batches of demo and test samples. The Department's ability to evaluate suitable processes for constructing prototypes represents an additional core competence.

Based on CAD data or a complete development cycle with prior numerical component optimisation, the AIT produces polymer or light alloy-based prototypes. The complexity of the components is virtually irrelevant: the prototype can be used for presentations, test purposes, modelling or design testing.

• Construction of close-to-production prototypes
• Use of innovative prototyping techniques (3D printer, Lost Form technology, Voxeljet, various casting methods)
• Production of test samples for validation, verification and model calibration
• Realisation of sample components and prototypes, taking economic factors into account
