EMO Hannover: Engineering inspired by nature

There is an established tradition of young entrepreneurs presenting their new business models at EMO Hannover. For example, a start-up's business model is based on biomimetic engineering in which highly efficient natural structures, optimised by evolution over millions of years, are imitated (mimesis).

The inventors develop these structures technically to enhance various components or products. This can make them lighter, more stable or more rigid – or all three simultaneously. CellCore supports SMEs from different sectors in all aspects from idea development through to the production of actual prototypes. Bionics experts, engineers and software developers in the Berlin-based start-up have jointly developed new software that optimises technical structures based on the internal structure of bones. This helps improve existing components or create entirely new solutions.

A good example is the injection nozzle for small satellite thrusters. Contributing their software and classic topology optimisation, the company employees joined forces with an industry partner and the Institute of Space Systems at the University of Stuttgart to design a prototype on the computer by calculating the optimum structures. The software identified the parts which had superfluous material because of the low levels of tension acting on them, and also calculated the parts where reinforcing structures are necessary. The functions of the nozzle – namely supplying fuel and damping vibrations – were factored in during the development process. Once a functional component with optimum properties had been created on the computer, the technicians could produce the first actual injection nozzle using 3D printing.

Startups@EMO Hannover

This years‘ EMO will once again feature a large Startup Area on Stand E34 in Hall 9, presented jointly by the organizer VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) and the VDMA Startup Machine. "Startups bring a breath of fresh air to well-established industrial sectors because they often function as pioneers and trendsetters in their field of business," says Stephanie Simon, who is responsible for the project at the VDW. That's why established exhibitors are often more than interested in talking to young companies, she points out. "The EMO Startup Area currently features nearly 60 companies that are looking to break into the production technology market and appeal to its users," adds Juliane Salten of the VDMA. Their primarily aim is to raise their profile and set up networks with customers and investors. (more…)
