Fire protection and high security glazing must meet increasingly complex requirements. Vetrotech Saint-Gobain developed Contraflam Vetrogard Blast, a high-security glass that provides equally effective protection against fire and explosions.

A new process should allow complex preform operations to be greatly simplified or even omitted in future. Scientists at the IPH are planning to use non-uniform heating to shorten the forging process and save energy and resources.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT has now developed the TwoCure process to industrial maturity: the resin-based 3D printing process enables the large-scale production of unsupported components in an automated process.
