Digital Manufacturing
IDE Design Master Class for Professionals
Making sense of disruptive technologies for design
Digital manufacturing, such as 3D printing, is a collection of disruptive technologies that is changing our daily lives. This trend requires new skills, based on a deep understanding of the interaction of the digital and the physical in design.
Date
13-14 March 2019
Group size
10-16 participants
Location
Industrial Design Engineering,
TU Delft
Deadline
4 March 2019
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. Finally, participants apply the gained knowledge in a design challenge.
Learning Objectives
During this master class you will:
- learn the workflow of digital manufacturing: from scanning & modelling to visualisation & 3D printing;
- study high-tech solutions that 3D printing enables;
- investigate business and innovation opportunities of Digital Manufacturing and the emergence of the maker movement;
- understand the digital design tools with their capabilities and pitfalls;
- explore parameterised and multi-material 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-modelling student.

Practical Information
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.
Books and materials
Participants will receive the course reader at the beginning of the course. All materials provided are included in the fee.
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.
