MAE 5340 - Innovative Product Design via Digital Manufacturing Fall. 4 credits. Letter grades only. Permission of Department required. Enrollment limited to: M.E. Seniors and other MEng/Graduate students. Co-meets with MAE 4340 /MAE 4341 . Graduate version of MAE 4340 . R. Shepherd, S. Simoncini. Combined lecture and laboratory course on the new product development cycle: iterative design based on ethnographic fieldwork, team brainstorming, prototyping, testing, consumer feedback, and the limitations set by mass manufacturing of the final product. This course will instruct students on methods to identify product concepts based on machine designs with commercial potential. Design teams will perform market analysis and explore the IP space around their own ideas and rapidly iterate them into a final prototype via digital manufacturing (e.g., 3D CAD files manifested via robotic printing or machining); advanced instruction on these tools will be given to build prototypes, and quantitative marketing will be used as feedback from them. Early stage prototypes will progress into more sophisticated designs as the class progresses. Scale-up (cost, pricing, tooling) considerations for mass manufacturing of these products will be taken into account, as well as quantitative analysis of their machine designs for their expected utility. Graduate students will be required to expand and/or focus on some aspects of the process/products. |
