Design & Product Applications

In our Design & Product Applications Working Group, we focus on innovative design methods in the context of additive manufacturing. We explore advanced approaches such as generative design, design automation, and algorithm-based or data-driven design. A particular emphasis is placed on the integration of AI technologies, including generative AI, to enable the identification and optimization of product designs tailored for additive manufacturing. By doing so, we aim to digitalize and automate product development processes and accelerate the path from concept to manufacturing-ready solutions.

Reduced Time-to-Market: Speed up the path from design to production with innovative design methodologies.
Digitized and (semi-)automated Product Development: Optimize and automate key stages of product development for greater efficiency.
Design Automation and Optimization: Use AI and data-driven techniques to create optimized, production-ready designs.

Economic Efficiency

Reduce product development time by 50% using Optimized Design and Analysis Tools
Strengthening the market position – foster independence through reuse of existing products and means of production

Digital Thread

Implement Digital Product File for seamless data flow to enable redesign und reconfiguration
Utilizing Virtual Prototyping and Visualization Tools to improve collaboration between designers, engineers, and customers

Eco-Effectiveness

Enable Re-X Strategies for AM Parts by implementing data-driven use phase simulation
Integrate sustainability criteria into product design, including the use of Eco-Friendly and Recyclable Materials
