Presentation Title
“Perspectives on AI applications in sheet metal forming”
Abstract
Special AI applications are gaining more and more importance as replacements for material models in metal forming and are used in many areas of digital twins, such as soft sensors or predictive tools. The main advantage of AI models in this field is found by the capability of code of programming itself based on the simulated or experimental data provided, without the need for explicit programming. This keynote will present a choice of practical applications of AI in the field of sheet metal forming to reveal achieved readiness levels of today due to extended research.
