A heart stent is a tiny, flexible metal mesh tube that’s placed in a coronary artery during angioplasty to keep it open. Obviously, the standards are high for such a crucial implant that must stay in place to keep blood flowing. ADMEDES GmbH is a global manufacturer of heart stents, using high-precision laser processes.
In the context of lectures, a group of our students recently enjoyed a tailored program, including:
- an introduction to the company and how laser is used,
- a tour through four different departments, focusing on lasers,
- and a specific talk on career opportunities and the chance to ask questions.
Founded in 1996, the headquarters of ADMEDES is in Pforzheim, just a short journey from Stuttgart. Industry visits like this are a regular highlight of each semester at IFSW. It’s an exciting example of the advantage of studying in close range of (and potentially in collaboration with) world-leading industry partners.
