The MultiMaK2 project developed new methods for conceptual design of lightweight components in automotive production, using a Life Cycle Design & Engineering approach and visual analytics. It also compiled and structured design guidelines in a knowledge management system, embedded within the Life Cycle Design & Engineering Lab in the Open Hybrid LabFactory.

The MultiMaK2 project, a collaborative research endeavor, aimed to advance the development of multi-material component concepts in large-scale automotive production. Within the project, novel methods for conceptual design of lightweight components were established, with a focus on roof cross members and transmission tunnels. A concurrent Life Cycle Design & Engineering approach was adopted, leading to the identification of eco- and cost-efficient component alternatives. This involved the evaluation of concepts across their entire life cycle using specialized tools. Furthermore, methodologies to integrate this knowledge into automotive engineering processes were established, leveraging principles of visual analytics. This facilitated a seamless integration of data, engineering models, and results visualization, fostering informed knowledge building across disciplines. MultiMaK2 also compiled and structured design guidelines within a knowledge management system. All the developed methods and tools were integrated into the Life Cycle Design & Engineering Lab within the Open Hybrid LabFactory.
