Work Package x Lab Map

This matrix summarizes which promoted labs are the best current fit for each work package.

Fit Legend

  • P = primary fit
  • S = strong secondary fit
  • W = watch or later-stage fit

Active Matrix

Lab WP-01 WP-02 WP-03 WP-04 WP-05 WP-06 WP-07 WP-08 WP-09
TUM CCBE AI4CADCAM P S W W W W S W W

How To Use This Map

  • Start from the work package, not the institution.
  • Pick the P lane first unless there is a relationship or geography reason to prefer an S lane.
  • Treat W lanes as expansion options, not default outreach targets.

First Action Reads

Work Package Best First Lab Why
WP-01 Drawing Tolerance Extraction TUM CCBE AI4CADCAM clearest local CAD-semantics and drawing-intelligence signal
WP-02 Feature-Based Manufacturability Inference FAU Engineering Design and KBE strongest methods and design-knowledge framing
WP-03 Simulation-Ready Geometry Abstraction Hochschule Muenchen Applied CAD CAE PLM fastest applied execution lane
WP-06 Agentic CAD to CAE Orchestration Fraunhofer ITWM Simulation Automation strongest simulation-workflow and model-reduction lane
WP-08 Packaging Module Library and DFM Assistant TU Dresden and Fraunhofer IVV Packaging Lane strongest packaging-machinery and digital-assistance fit

Open Questions

  • Should WP-09 get a dedicated TU Darmstadt lab/container page in the next wave?
  • Should OTH Regensburg enter this matrix once its cluster is promoted?
