IDEMC7: Digital Manufacturing

Making sense of disruptive technologies for design

Jouke Verlinden, Assistant Professor Advanced Manufacturing, IDE, TU Delft
3D printing and digital manufacturing are disruptive technologies that will change our daily lives. This trend requires new skills, based on a deep understanding of the interaction between the digital and the physical in design. Curriculum In this Master Class, professional designers and engineers explore enabling technologies (soft and hardware), and learn to recognize best practices in academia and industry. Example cases are presented and IDE alumni give practical advice. To finish, participants apply the knowledge gained in a design challenge.

During this master class, you will:

• understand the workflow of digital manufacturing: from scanning to modelling to printing;
• understand high-tech solutions, only doable by Additive Manufacturing;
• understand business and innovation opportunities and the emergence of the maker movement;
• understand the digital tools with capabilities and pitfalls;
• be able to connect reverse engineering and 3D scanning to the digital manufacturing workflow;
• be able to explore parameterised and multimaterial models.

Content

• Lectures on digital manufacturing aspects (products, production systems, markets);
• Hands-on colstructions to explore enabling solutions and best practices;
• Learning by doing: a design challenge, with the ability to use our state-of-the-art lab facilities. To guarantee a successful experience, we will connect each group to a top-modeling student.

Deadline: 7 November 2016 Book and materials Participants will receive the course reader at the beginning of the course. All materials provided are included in the fee. How to prepare?  Preparation for this master class includes preparing a personal introduction, bringing a domain to the class and reading one/two papers. Instructions will be send about one week before the workshop. The preparation will take approximately four hours. The preparation material will be sent as a PDF by email. After the course Two months after the course, a pre-set consultation timeslot will be offered to all participants to share experiences and ask questions to the IDE Master Class. The format and the timing will be discussed with the participants during the IDE Master Class. Click here to register Source:   Delft University of Technology
