Young scientist honored: IHK sponsorship award for master's thesis
Every two years, the Kassel Chamber of Industry and Commerce awards a cash prize for outstanding academic work in the fields of economics, law, technology or natural sciences. Estella Arabel Landau, who impressed the jury with her Master's thesis entitled "Creation and testing of a business consulting concept for the use of 3D scanners and printers", received the IHK sponsorship prize , which is worth 1,600 euros. The concept was developed taking into account the principles of vocational and business education and the implementation was tested in the digital laboratory of the Future Center for Human-Centered AI in Production Work (ZuKIPro) at the University of Kassel, in which the IHK Kassel-Marburg is also involved as a project partner. The concept was planned, tested and further improved using the 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies as examples. Nevertheless, it is also transferable to other technologies, such as virtual reality, augmented reality and human-robot collaboration, which are presented in the digital laboratory of the Department of Human-Machine Systems Engineering using demonstrators for digital work system design and assembly support. The aim was to offer employees from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in production and the skilled trades high-quality business advice.
