Description of the project

The aim of the project is to create the methodological and information-technological basis for the automated design and manufacture of spatially arbitrary, serially manufacturable bridge structures at several discrete scales, so that the design processes can be adapted iteratively and consistently on the basis of manufacturing data. The sequence of design and fabrication, previously treated sequentially, will be considered in favor of iterative derivation and updating of models. This is to be achieved by integrating the algorithmic design processes and the manufacturing processes into a cyber-physical system, which processes sensory manufacturing and inspection data for documenting materialized design processes and for optimizing outstanding design processes. Conceptually, a measurement concept for the manufacturing processes as well as data-driven methods for the evaluation of the measurement concept will be newly developed.  
The integration of the existing information systems and the creation of an interface to the production machines will be worked out with the help of the model-based systems engineering established in the stationary industry. The project thus contributes to the further development of classic document-based development processes in favor of model-based, unambiguous and interdisciplinary language. The benefits lie in an integrative understanding of functions, responsibilities and interfaces and in streamlining technical architectures and process development for digitization efforts. The concrete use case in the project here is the cyber-physical system for additive manufacturing of the modules, but the methodology developed should allow transfer to other development processes in modular construction where the close coupling of information and physical systems is a challenge.
