3-Cycle: First trip to Pilani by project group from Braunschweig

For the first 3-Cycle project journey a group from TU Braunschweig traveled to Pilani from 07.06.2015 until 16.06.2015. The team was formed by the students Frithjof Hansing, Chris Töppe und Benjamin Willenbrock, phtographer Darian Weiß and research assistant Max Juraschek from IWF. The project work was focussed on the investigation of local circumstances and the specific requirements for the in 3-Cycle developed recycling process. It was a very impressive time with lots of interesting experiences and a very warm welcome in Pilani.

3-Cycle project: Recycling of plastics with 3D-printing

As with the rapid development of both large-scale industrial and small-scale affordable desktop 3D-printers, FDM 3D-printing becomes more and more popular and enables new ways of creating products. With filament as input material for 3D-printers made from waste plastics economical and environmental benefits result for the process. Additionally the use of recycled material as input to a manufacturing process can contribute significantly towards more sustainable manufacturing. The recycling filament can have a negative influence on the product quality depending on material purity, polymer compatibility and the number of cycles the material has experienced. The extent of material degradation due to recycling is also part of 3-Cycle project which is strongly emphazised on student exchange connecting TU Braunschweig and BITS Pilani. The project is funded by AKB Stiftung and scheduled from 01.01.2015 unti 31.12.2015.

Indo-German Automotive Life Cycle Engineering 2 (InGA LCE 2)

In 2014 the project Indo-German Automotive Life Cycle Engineering got an extension for another year. With InGA LCE 2 the scope of the collaboration between IWF/TU Braunschweig and BITS Pilani was widened from automotive to sustainable manufacturing and general life cycle engineering topics. Furthermore, a new focus was added to the partnership by trying to cooperate more closely in teaching. For this the Institute for Psychology was welcomed as a new partner to give new impulses from the methodological side. The exchange of students continues and more Research Assistants than ever have visited the respective partner university.

2nd Indo-German Workshop on Green Manufacturing (Theme: Life Cycle Engineering)

The 2nd Indo-German Workshop on Green Manufacturing with the Theme Life Cycle Engineering took place on November 7th, 2013 at BITS Pilani. The event has been jointly organised by BITS Pilani and TU Braunschweig and was stage to various presentations on the topics of Sustainable Manufacturing and Life Cycyle Engineering. Participnts from Germany and different places in India came together to discuss the latest developments in these fields.

Indo-German Automotive Life Cycle Engineering (InGA LCE)

In the context of the renewed research call „New Passage to India“ from the DAAD the project “Indo-German Automotive Life Cycle Engineering” has been launched in 2012. The project aims to strengthen the intercultural competences of its Indian and German participants in the context of Automotive Life Cycle Engineering and will last for two years. The main target is to offer students from both countries the opportunity to stay and work in the respective other country on topics like Life Cycle Assessment of vehicle concepts, assessment of differences of recycling options in Germany and India as well as automobile product concepts for the Indian market and market-specific vehicle variants in Germany and India. In addition to that, researchers from both countries are enabled to visit the respective other country to conduct their research work.

1st Indo-German Workshop on Green Manufacturing

On September 21st, 2009 the 1st Indo-German Workshop on Green Manufacturing was held successfully at BITS Pilani. The main focus of the presentations and the subsequent diskussion was on measures to increase the energy and resource efficiency in manufacturing companies. Furthermore, the utilisation of solar thermal electric energy generators, which concentrate the light from the sun to create heat, has been looked at.

History of the partnership between IWF/TU Braunschweig and BITS Pilani

During the BMBF campaign „India and Germany – Strategic Partners for Innovation“ in 2008 it was possible to establish contact with the leading Indian universities and industrial partners in the field of automotive research and sustainable products, resulting in cooperation agreements with the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) in Pilani. In 2009 the Indo-German project “Lean & Green – Efficiency and Effectiveness in Production” was initiated. Funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademische Austauschdienst – DAAD) through its programme “New passage to India”, it was possible to establish an exchange of students and researchers between the BITS and the IWF of TU Braunschweig. Building on this, different seminars and workshop have been organised in India and Germany. Furthermore, the joint work resulted in various scientific publications that have been released at conferences in Pilani and Braunschweig among others.
