Open innovation platform for optimising production systems by combining product development, virtual engineering workflows and production data.
Project Goals
PIONEER aims to develop and implement an interoperable Materials-Modelling-Manufacturing Ecosystem. The project intends to enable multi-directional data-flow throughout the material value chain by connecting the production’s various stages. Combining a design-by-simulation approach with manufacturing and quality data, PIONEER will optimize product development strategies in high-mix/low-volume production schemes.
VMAP Related Developments
The project played a major role in the development of the experimental data storage under the VMAP Standard. The initiative to build the Additive Manufacturing Working group was also driven by the demands from the project.
