KIT - wbk Institute of Production Science

The wbk Institute of Production Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has just under 100 employees and is part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.

In addition to its research activities in the traditional fields of mechanical and plant engineering, the wbk focuses on the development of production technology for enabling technologies such as electromobility, hybrid lightweight construction and additive manufacturing. In joint projects with industry partners, the wbk develops solutions for a wide range of production engineering issues and also develops methods and processes for the production of tomorrow with a view to the future.
