Technology transfer is focused on activities related to transfer technological know-how from the field of science to other areas of society, such as commercial partners. Research at IAP requires specialized instrumentation and analyses that lead to unique technical processes and inventions that are carried out in cooperation with industry partners. 

Recent examples of technology transfer projects are: (a) ZIM project “MoliCu” and (b)  the RUBIN project “LidarCUBE”. The ZIM project “MoliCu” included the industrial standardization and improvement of a 3D printed housing frame for a planned, autonomous measuring lidar system with a volume of only 1 m³. The RUBIN project “LidarCUBE” is conceived to convert a novel lidar system developed at the IAP into a marketable industrial product.
