Established for the companies in the region

The use of state-of-the-art technology is an important success factor in order for a company to remain competitive. Despite this, modern technical solutions are usually costly to purchase and maintain.

In order to support companies in the region by facilitating access to state-of-the-art technology and to offer an insight into the technology, the 3D Visualization Center was established as a competence center at the Ohm with funding from the European Union.

Since 2009, our staff have been providing support to companies in the fields of reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, 3D visualization, construction, process optimization, and robotics. 

Reverse engineering – 3D scanning

We use 3D scanning when we need to capture real-life objects or rooms as 3D geometry on a computer. Depending on the procedure, the surface is scanned with a laser pointer, a laser beam, or structured light and recorded as a point cloud. After being processed by the software, the objects can be viewed three-dimensionally in CAD or VR software and then processed further.... more about this project

Rapid Prototyping (RP)

Many years of experience in the field of rapid prototyping have made it possible for us to produce some especially ambitious small batches and prototypes. We can advise you even in the design stage, in order to ensure a high quality of construction. The knowledge we have gained from numerous projects in relation to active surfaces, free spaces, loads, and the position in the constructed space, etc. contributes towards an optimum result.... more about this project

Virtual Reality (VR)

Dive into a three-dimensional world, Where you are not only a viewer, but also an actor. This is because our system automatically adapts the image to your viewpoint, creating an even more realistic experience. This, in turn, makes space utilization, design, overlaps, and bottlenecks easier to identify.... more about this project

Contract research

Research and the continuous development of existing technologies and processes are necessary for long-term success. and this is why every large company has its own R&D department. For small and medium-sized enterprises, an in-house research department is usually unsustainable. In addition, many companies shy away from collaboration with universities out of fear that the new development would not be protected and would be passed on to third parties.

We develop new processes, tools, production processes, and products together with you and at your instruction. The subsequent use of the new technology is contractually established in advance, and in such a way that you are also able to benefit economically from the research contract.

If you have a topic that you are interested in researching or developing further, please get in touch! Together, we can work out the details and drive technological progress.

Process optimization

When processes do not run optimally in the production chain, they inevitably result in a loss of quality and profit. Our experts can advise and support you in improving your work and production processes.

The benefit to you: Thanks to our proximity to Nuremberg Tech, we can draw upon many years of experience in a wide variety of industrial fields and help you to achieve better production outcomes.

Design and calculation

As well as technical know-how, the development of new products also requires the skilful handling of state-of-the-art development tools. The 3D Visualization Center has specialists from the various Faculties of Nuremberg Tech available to map the entire product development cycle. They can draw upon state-of-the-art technical equipment and will help you to realise your idea.

We can support you at every stage of product development.

State financial support, such as in the form of innovation vouchers, may be applied for when developing innovative products and processes. Any of these services may also be used individually, of course.

Please contact us if you are interested in benefiting from our technologies and know-how.
