Biofairnet - K-Day at the University of Bayreuth

BioFairNet at the 26th Bayreuther 3D-Konstrukteurstag 2025

With around 190 participants, this year’s K-Day at the University of Bayreuth was a great success. On the 17th of September 2025, the Chair of Engineering Design and CAD at the University of Bayreuth once again welcomed numerous guests from industry, research and academia.

Talks, live demonstrations and discussions once again highlighted the diversity of current developments in design, simulation and manufacturing. This year, topics relating to model-based product development and digital twins were particularly well represented, as were approaches to additive manufacturing, optimization and sustainability assessment. Here, at the intersection with traditional engineering disciplines, that the BioFairNet project joined the chair’s sustainability and digitalisation projects, represented by Dr.-Ing. Tobias Rosnitschek and Dipl.-Ing. Kilian Nölscher. In the middle of the exhibition with numerous partners, the two colleagues took the opportunity to explain the BioFairNet project and the associated vision to interested visitors, exchange ideas on current developments and trends, and make new contacts.
