Meet us at the next fair!

Advanced Therapies

London, United Kingdom, March 18 – March 19, 2025

Improved therapies through the fusion of science and industry: Visit us at the “Advanced Therapies” in London and experience the future of laboratory automation. Together with our cooperation partner Harro Höfliger, we are building a bridge between laboratory development and commercial production of cell and gene therapeutics.

Be inspired by our “Lab Automation Demonstrator” on site, which showcases the next generation production for novel cell and gene products. The system is based on a magnetic planar drive and can frictionlessly transport cell vessels from station to station and, for example, carry out liquid handling processes or inline quality controls.

Together with our innovative control software "COPE", flexible, free-chain processes can be implemented and a fully bio-adaptive production can be realised. 

In addition, we are offering two exciting lectures:

• Laura Herbst: “Fully automated cell expansion for the production of three-dimensional functional implants”,
• Julius Mathews: “Optimizing mRNA-Based Therapy Development: Automation and AI-Driven Approaches for Higher Resource-Efficiency”.

How does an additively manufactured semi-finished product become a high-quality component for industrial use?

Additive processes such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) offer high flexibility and resource efficiency in individual and small series production. But only through appropriate post-processing does the component achieve the surface quality that industrial use requires.

At Formnext 2025, the Fraunhofer IPT, together with other Fraunhofer institutes, will show examples of numerous processes and their combinations: conventional processes for smoothing surfaces such as milling and sandblasting, but also vibratory grinding, stream finishing, plasma processes, laser beam structuring, selective coating and painting.

The institutes' joint exhibit offers trade fair guests a compact overview of the variety of different technologies and invites them to discuss specific challenges.
