The Augsburg AI Production Network is a network of the University of Augsburg, the Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology IGCV, the Center for Lightweight Production Technology (ZLP) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Augsburg and the Augsburg Technical University of Applied Sciences. Regional industrial partners are also involved. The objective is joint research into AI-based production technologies at the interface between materials, manufacturing technologies, data-based modelling and digital business models. The Free State of Bavaria is funding the project with 92 million euros as part of the High-Tech Agenda program.
