Research areas Materials Manufacturing Materials Manufacturing focuses on improving methods, processes and knowledge that amplify productivity. Applications range from networked product systems to additive manufacturing. Circular Product Design Circular Product Design focuses on the development of business models, principles, and tools that enable the design of products and services with a lower overall impact across their multiple lifecycles. Cyber-Physical Systems Product-service combinations are increasingly implemented as cyber-physical systems. This research area focuses on the synthesis of hardware, software, and cyberware technologies. Design for Sustainability Design for Sustainability aims for products and services that are sustainable and deliver better value, with methods, models and tools for integrating sustainability into product development and systems. Emerging Materials Emerging Materials concerns the application in product design of materials that will enter the market in the next 5-15 years. The focus is on smart materials, composites, and novel bio-based plastics. Internet of Things The Internet of Things creates an infrastructure for physical and virtual connectivity. This research explores new opportunities for designing networked products, using various data and products. Mechatronic Design The research at Mechatronic Design focuses on advancing technologies to optimise product behaviour and user productivity, bridging the gap between user-centered design and technology. Product Architecture Design Product Architecture Design focuses on the integration of design knowledge. It also emphasises the embedding of advanced conceptual and embodiment design of complex, sustainable products and services. Deel deze pagina: Facebook Linkedin Twitter Email WhatsApp Deel deze pagina
