Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz - Krakowski Instytut Technologiczny, Kraków

Łukasiewicz - Krakow Institute of Technology was established on 1st April 2020 as a result of the merger of two Krakow Institutes that are part of the Łukasiewicz Research Network: the Foundry Research Institute and the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology. Łukasiewicz - KIT is an institute specializing in materials shaping technologies, from casting technology of iron, cobalt, nickel and non-ferrous alloys, through additive technologies, including SLS, SLM sintering (3D printing), and powder consolidation HPHT, SPSa, machining, abrasive and erosive techniques.
Łukasiewicz - KIT carries out R&D and implementation work and provides wide range of material tests.
It develops 3D printing technologies based on metals, plastics and ceramics, and produces materials and tools for the high-tech industry, including materials for electromobility, the production and processing of composite and nanocomposite materials for special applications, as well as automation of processes in accordance with the assumptions of Industry 4.0. It provides modernization services of measuring equipment as well as product and service certification (voluntary and obligatory).
The Institute's offer is addressed to many industries, including representatives of the foundry, metal, machine, automotive, railway, aviation, energy, shipbuilding, packaging, chemical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries.
To meet the expectations of customers, we solve difficult technological problems, especially in the field of developing technology for the production of materials for special applications, selection of technological process parameters in order to obtain the highest quality products, processing of difficult-to-machine materials, corrosion, coatings, surface treatment and recycling.
