Materials, the competent knowledge of their properties and their processing into components and machines have a long and, above all, professionally profound tradition in Pforzheim and the Northern Black Forest region. The entire spectrum of materials is used here, from polymers and ceramic materials to a wide range of metallic materials.

The Institute for Materials and Material Technologies (IWWT) at Pforzheim University is involved in research and teaching on the development, production, structure and properties of materials. The activities focus on the structure-property relationships of materials, as well as application-oriented process optimization in stamping technology and polymer processing.
