Using AI to achieve the ideal injection-moulded component up to 100 times faster
At the Centre for Future Production at the University of Augsburg, a team led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Nils Meyer combined classical physics models with AI-based models in a software that performs the necessary calculations in just a few seconds. Making their approach up to 100 times faster than standard software solutions, saving both time and resources.
