Your project

Interior storage is one of the performances taken care by our team.

This project aims to create a digital tool using AI, that would automatically calculate the storage performance of a vehicle, based on CAD data and on 3D scan of pre-defined objects.

The goal is to rapidly assess and find solutions to improve the storage performance during vehicle development.

To accomplish this goal, you will need to:

• Assist on the 3D scan of defined objects,
• Develop a tool to determine automatically in which storage areas each 3D-scanned object can fit (on CATIA),
• Based on the above information, develop an AI algorithm that would calculate and determine the optimised combination considering that objects have different priority levels (as actual customers would do),
• Create an appropriate user interface of the tool, and an easy-to-use step-by-step manual.

Starting date

•  22nd of June 2026 (approximately)
