ENGINEERING

The research direction of Competitive Engineering combines research and development in the areas of manufacturing and automotive industries with great application potential. The workplaces support the industrial activities of entities not only in adjacent regions and focus on the application of new technologies and technological processes to ensure a higher level of innovation in industrial production.

The 3D Technologies Department is dedicated to research and development in the field of additive technologies. Our activities include 3D printing using state-of-the-art technologies for processing metal and polymer materials.

    Interview with Veronika Leová: From „Crazy Scientist“ to Professional Research

    The life of a scientist isn’t just about wearing a white lab coat; it’s also about international internships, endless reading of articles, and searching for answers to questions no one has asked before. Veronika Leová initially had no idea what working in research entailed. Today, as a doctoral student at the CXI TUL institute in…

  • AI Monitors 3D Printing During the Production of Molds for Cars and Airplanes

    AI Monitors 3D Printing During the Production of Molds for Cars and Airplanes

    Instead of time-consuming machining, large-format 3D printing is taking over, a process that monitors and continuously adjusts itself during production. This is the foundation of the Czech-German AI4MultiDirectAM project, whose ambition is to transform the production of molds for composite parts into a faster, more precise, and more cost-effective process. Molds for composite parts, such…

  • Smarter Site Remediation? AI Can Help

    Smarter Site Remediation? AI Can Help

    Cleaning up a contaminated site isn’t just about taking action; it’s mainly about correctly interpreting what’s happening beneath the surface. That’s where the decision is made as to whether the intervention will be fast, effective, and cost-efficient. A new project is therefore relying on artificial intelligence to uncover hidden connections from available information and help…
