A virtual workshop on Industrial Applications of Digital Technologies was successfully held on March 15. This workshop was jointly organised by Shenzhen Technology University (SZTU) and the Technical University of Munich Asia (TUM Asia). It was conducted by the lecturers from SZTU and the guest speakers from TUM Asia. Four related topics were covered in the workshop: Digital Simulation for Immersive Automation Training, Inspection 4.0 for NDT and SHM, Flexible and Soft biosensors in Wearable Devices, and 3D Printing of Injection Mold with Conformal Cooling Channels. About 150 teachers and students from both universities participated in this online workshop.
