MaterialDigital
Description
The MaterialDigital project is demonstrating for the first time that materials can be integrated into digital value chains in the sense of Industry 4.0. For this purpose, digital representations of the processed materials (so-called material twins) are generated from a material data space during the manufacturing process for the two use cases "metals" and "polymers", whereby a consistency of the material state information is achieved along the considered process chains. This has the advantage that the processes can subsequently be optimized with respect to the desired local, physical or mechanical properties of the materials.
Since a wide variety of surface properties of polymeric biomaterials contribute to cell response, the effects of possible process-related variations are evaluated using functional biological testing methods. The aim of the polymers use case is to initiate the appropriate optimization or post-treatment measures for the multi-stage process chains from synthesis, through molding, to in-vitro use on the basis of the parameters tracked.
