The paper investigates differences in data gathering and preparation of the workplace environment for virtual ergonomic analyses. The two investigated scenarios are classical digitization of the workplace by measurement of dimensions and subsequent modelling of the workplace in 3D drawing software compared to 3D scanning of the workplace by an industrial scanner. Those two scenarios are assessed in...
Production of engineering drawings have evolved from manual to Computer Aided Design (CAD), primarily for the speed and accuracy presented by CAD. Unlike modelling and simulation packages that are equipped with building blocks, CAD packages are generally supplied with no pre-drawn symbols. From best practices in industrial engineering and working for companies that make use of CAD systems, evidently...
Simulations contribute to the efficiency of the product development process and the quality of the developed products. However, their integration in the development process can be improved. We propose a knowledge-based framework, containing a toolkit of simulation methods as its central element to integrate simulations in the product development process. Within this paper, we briefly introduce the...
Additive Manufacturing (AM), popularly called 3D Printing, is a scientific term indicating the Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies developed in 1980s. AM technologies can directly fabricate a complex 3D object from three-dimensional Computer Aided Design (3D CAD) model by adding layer-by-layer of material. Advances in AM technologies are capable of manufacturing highly complicated geometries of product...
This paper presents an approach to improve understanding regarding the current application of product models and design methods within a company's mechatronic product design process. The method consists of five steps, where information is acquired in interviews, analyzed regarding current state of understanding and application, immediate measures are derived and further measures are planned in a roadmapping...
In this study, we investigated the difference of luxuriousness between real model house and web-based model house. Living room as the most important residential space was targeted as an evaluation object. 6 living rooms and 9 elements contained in each living room were evaluated in terms of luxuriousness. Through independent samples t-test, we could examine that there were statistically significant...
This paper will address how to develop a strategy when developing and implementing product configuration systems (PCSs) in engineer-to-order (ETO) companies. PCSs are often gradually implemented especially where there are complex products and processes in order to break down the overall project and reduce risk. This highlights the importance of having an overall strategy to guide the long-term development...
