The Design for Additive Manufacturing Worksheet

The Design for Additive Manufacturing Worksheet

by Convergence Design Lab Admin | Aug 3, 2017 | 2017, DESIGN METHOD, Jeff Alperovich, Joran Booth, Karthik Ramani, Pratik Chawla, Recent Publications, Uncategorized

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have become integral to modern prototyping and manufacturing. Therefore, guidelines for using AM are necessary to help users new to the technology. Many others have proposed useful guidelines, but these are rarely written in a...

The Design For Additive Manufacturing Worksheet

by Joran | Jun 2, 2016 | 2016, Design Learn, Joran Booth, Karthik Ramani, Publications

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have become integral to the modern manufacturing process. These roles are filled both in prototyping and production. Many studies have been conducted and lists been written on guidelines for AM. While these lists are...
Interventions for Teaching Sketching Skills and Reducing Inhibition for Novice Engineering Designers

Interventions for Teaching Sketching Skills and Reducing Inhibition for Novice Engineering Designers

by Joran | Nov 24, 2015 | 2016, Design Learn, Joran Booth, Karthik Ramani

Abstract: This paper explores improving sketching skills and reducing the inhibition to sketch for student designers. In the first study, students were taught sketching skills through an in-class workshop. The effect was evaluated using a pre-midpost test (n=40). In...
Empirical Studies of Functional Decomposition in Early Design

Empirical Studies of Functional Decomposition in Early Design

by Joran | Aug 11, 2015 | 2015, Design Learn, DESIGN METHOD, Design Representation, Joran Booth, Karthik Ramani, Recent Publications

This paper explores functional decomposition in early design. In the first part of this study, we explore how the three most common methods (top-down, energy-flow, enumeration) affect concept generation for novice design teams (n=25). We found that nearly all the...
Comparing Functional Analysis Methods for Product Dissection Tasks

Comparing Functional Analysis Methods for Product Dissection Tasks

by Joran | Aug 10, 2015 | 2015, Design Learn, DESIGN METHOD, Design Representation, Joran Booth, Karthik Ramani

The purpose of this study is to begin to explore which function identification methods work best for specific tasks. We use a three-level within-subject study (n ¼ 78) to compare three strategies for identifying functions: energy-flow, top-down, and enumeration....
