The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS, with the support of SUFRAMA, organized the MINAPIM 2018 Seminar on 3rd and 4th December in Manaus at SUFRAMA headquarters. The Minapim series (Micro and Nanotechnology and Photonics Interface to the Market) has the aim of disseminating and discussing advanced technologies, which are state of the art. »Industry 4.0« and the »Internet of Things« (IOT) were special topics at MINAPIM 2018. The event was also attended by participants from other locations, such as researchers from Chemnitz Germany, Joinville, Florianópolis and Recife.

Dr. Lutz Hofmann received the research award of Fraunhofer ENAS in 2018. With his research results on 3D integration and copper-filled through silicon vias in microsystems, he contributed to the expert status of the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS in Chemnitz as one of the few research institutes in this field.

During a festive ceremony on December 17, 2018, the continuative contract between Tohoku University Sendai, one of the Excellence Universities in Japan, and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for the continuation of the Fraunhofer ENAS Project Center “NEMS/MEMS devices and manufacturing technologies at Tohoku University” was signed.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS presents, together with its project partners Chemnitzer Werkstoffmechanik GmbH and FRT GmbH, the optical surface measurement tool MicroProf® TL at the SENSOR+TEST 2018 in Nuremberg, Germany, from June 26 to 28, 2018. The MicroProf® TL will be displayed at the Fraunhofer pavilion number 5-248 in hall 5.

Following two intensive days, the Smart Systems Integration 2018 has closed its doors in Dresden, Germany. The event ends with positive results and, once again, proves that it is a significant communication platform on innovative smart systems and their applications.

The aircraft of the future flies electrically and autonomously, is feather-light and can be conveniently produced in a fully automated manner. While the electrification and permanent autopilot are still in their infancy, lightweight construction is already indispensable today. Digital manufacturing processes are about to be applied. Fraunhofer will present new automated production technologies for lightweight construction materials at the ILA, the largest innovation trade fair in the aerospace industry, at the Berlin ExpoCenter Airport from April 25 to 29, 2018 (Hall 2, Booth 229).
