Additive Manufacturing is investigated as an innovative method for shaping heterogeneous catalysts. Contrary to the established industrial forming techniques such as tableting or extrusion, 3D printing offers the chance to obtain novel and complex geometries. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture tailor-made catalyst shapes for the desired applications. This project works in collaboration with Clariant Produkte Deutschland GmbH (Project of MuniCat – a strategic Alliance of Clariant and Technical University of Munich).
