Prototyping is an essential part of a company’s product development process.
Dielectric elastomers (DEs) may be a more energy efficient, lightweight, and low-cost solution for many emerging mechatronics applications when compared against established actuation technologies (e.g. solenoids or pneumatic cylinders).
Configuration design problems are common in everyday life as well as engineering, with examples ranging from the selection and arrangement of furniture for a living room to the type of problem-solving used by NASA engineers to return Apollo 13 safely to Earth.
This paper proposes a framework to analyze the architectural complexity of systems developed with a product family.
Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques provide designers with greater freedom in creating customized products with complex shapes.
The PolyJet material jetting additive manufacturing (AM) process is uniquely qualified to create complex, multi-material structures.
Self-folding structures are beneficial for a wide variety of applications including biomedical and electronics products.
Customers want good value when they buy products. However, the value perceived by a customer is affected in part by the benefits they get from the product and the cost of designing the product.
