His task is to develop a DDSS at a early design phase integrating AM. The expected system needs to combine both hard rules (boundary conditions) and experts’s experience, in order to advise the designer (architect) for feasible AM methods regarding to different building components.

Integrating Digital Design and Additive Manufacturing through BIM-Based Decision Support and Digital Twin Methods
M. Sc. Martin Slepicka
is developing a data structure and corresponding methods (WP 2) that enable a closed chain between digital design (e.g. BIM) and digital manufacturing (mainly Additive Manufacturing). For backwards communication of “as-built” information during and after a manufacturing process, digital twin methods are incorporated into the developed FIM system (WP 3).
