IDEA League Summer School Recap

News - 13 September 2023 - Communication

At the end of August, Assistant Professor Zjenja Doubrovski and Associate Professor Jun Wu had the pleasure of co-hosting the IDEA League Summer School on Computational Design for Additive Manufacturing.

The duo, along with the summer school’s other co-organisers (Serena Graziosi (Politecnico di Milano); Tino Stanković (ETH Zurich); and Nicholas Meisel (Penn State)) welcomed a multidisciplinary group of students and young researchers from eight universities to the TU Delft | Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering.

While at IDE, the group explored how computational design, empowered by additive manufacturing technologies, is revolutionising the design landscape. The curriculum included design workshops, and a design challenge with many 3D printing iterations to cover the topics of Cellular Structures, Metamaterials, Multi-Material Additive Manufacturing, Topology Optimization, and Personalization.
