I Makerspace, vårt lab för idégenerering och prototyputveckling, har vi bland annat ett antal 3d-skrivare. Även om tekniken utvecklas snabbt är det tyvärr inte ovanligt att utskrifter, i synnerhet större och mer komplexa geometrier, misslyckas. I ett försök att öka nyttjandegrad och tillförlitlighet har vi kopplat upp några av våra skrivare på nätet, IoT in […]

Abstract To reduce uncertainty in decisions, engineers experiment with models, such as, exploring what-if scenarios, and thus increase knowledge. Still, because modelling is an idealisation of reality, there is often substantial uncertainty involved, and this decision makers less confident to lean onto models alone when making decisions. The aim of this paper is to conceptualize […]

ABSTRACT Reliable design of stamping dies is desired for efficient and safe production. The design of stamping dies are today mostly based on casting feasibility, although it can also be based on criteria for fatigue, stiffness, safety, economy. Current work presents an approach that is built on Simulation Driven Design, enabling Design Optimization to address […]

ABSTRACT In production of automotive components, control-measuring is an important activity to assure that geometries meet expected tolerances. This is done via randomly taking parts out of production for control-measuring in a fixture. This fixture is both a tedious and repetitive product to design and configure. The aim of this paper is therefore to present […]
