But Will It Build? Assessing Student Engineering Designers’ Use of Design for Additive Manufacturing Considerations in Design Outcomes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) enables engineers to improve the functionality and performance of their designs by adding complexity at little to no additional cost. However, AM processes also exhibit certain unique limitations, ...
Quantifying the Shape of Pareto Fronts During Multi-Objective Trade Space Exploration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent advances in simulation and computation capabilities have enabled designers to model increasingly complex engineering problems, taking into account many dimensions, or objectives, in the problem formulation. Increasing ...
A Mixed-Methods Investigation of How Digital Immersion Affects Design for Additive Manufacturing Evaluations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Applications for additive manufacturing (AM) continue to increase as more industries adopt the technology within their product development processes. There is a growing demand for designers to acquire and hone their design ...
Teaching Design Freedom: Understanding the Effects of Variations in Design for Additive Manufacturing Education on Students’ Creativity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) processes offer unique capabilities (i.e., opportunities) yet inherent limitations (i.e., restrictions) due to the layer-by-layer fabrication of parts. Despite the newfound design freedom and ...
Rapid Response! Investigating the Effects of Problem Definition on the Characteristics of Additively Manufactured Solutions for COVID-19
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designers from around the world have proposed numerous engineering design solutions for problems related to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of which leverage the rapid prototyping and manufacturing capabilities of additive ...
Exploring the Effects of Additive Manufacturing Education on Students' Engineering Design Process and its Outcomes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Research in additive manufacturing (AM) has increased the use of AM in many industries, resulting in a commensurate need for a workforce skilled in AM. In order to meet this need, educational institutions have undertaken ...
3D Design Using Generative Adversarial Networks and Physics-Based Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The authors present a generative adversarial network (GAN) model that demonstrates how to generate 3D models in their native format so that they can be either evaluated using complex simulation environments or realized ...
Evaluating the Use of Virtual Reality to Teach Introductory Concepts of Additive Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Limited academic course offerings and high barriers to incorporate industrial additive manufacturing (AM) systems into education has led to an underserved demand for a highly skilled AM workforce. In this research, virtual ...
Complex Solutions for Complex Problems? Exploring the Role of Design Task Choice on Learning, Design for Additive Manufacturing Use, and Creativity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The integration of additive manufacturing (AM) processes in many industries has led to the need for AM education and training, particularly on design for AM (DfAM). To meet this growing need, several academic institutions ...
Manufacturing Fixation in Design: Exploring the Effects of Manufacturing Fixation During Idea Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Capitalizing on any new or unfamiliar manufacturing technology requires an ability to look beyond the manufacturing limitations that have constrained one's design ideas in the past. For advanced manufacturing technology ...
