The competences are in the following fields: Computer Graphics, Virtual Reality, Concept Design, Product Development, Quality and Reliability for Innovation and Design for X.T he Fraunhofer JLIDEAS is organized in 6 labs:

  1. COGITO, computer geometric modeling and simulation;
  2. IDEAinVR, interactive design and ergonomics applications in virtual reality;
  3. CREAMI, center of reverse engineering and additive manufacturing innovation;
  4. SQUARE, statistics, quality and reliability for innovation laboratory;
  5. ERGOS, ergonomics and sport;
  6. VIC,  statistical evaluation and comfort indices.

The JL IDEAS is involved in national and international projects with big industries, SMEs and research institutions in France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, UK and Turkey.
