Profile of the Institute
The Fraunhofer-FEP is divided into the following three divisions:

• Electron beam
• Plasma
• Systems/Model construction

It is the objective of the institute´s work to research into and develop new methods for the use of electron-beams of high power and dense plasmas in production processes for surface treatment. Special emphasis is given to practical issues such as process monitoring, quality management, reproducibility, up-scaling and efficiency. The institute has a long experience in the implementation of scientific findings in production processes. In addition to development services and feasibility studies it offers its customers, among other things, the combination of technological know-how and the corresponding key components as so-called “integrated packages”. The institute has some 3,250 sqm of technical facilites and numerous large plants.
