They make it possible to analyze components and processes virtually at an early stage of development, efficiently compare design variants and significantly shorten development times. Especially in plastics technology, where a wide variety of materials, manufacturing processes and application areas come together, you are the basis for structured and data-based product development.<\/p>\n<p>As part of this HiWi activity, you will work on current research projects from various fields of application in plastics technology. These include projects in the context of the hydrogen economy, such as the development of fibre-reinforced pressure accumulators, as well as projects for the design and optimization of plastic components, such as screw connection systems or packaging.<\/p>\n<p>You will support simulation-based product development by setting up and further developing models, carrying out parameter studies and evaluating test data. The aim is to digitally map real components and processes and use data-driven and AI-supported methods to gain insights for product development. You will gain insights into current research topics at the interface of simulation, design and data-driven development.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section
