Digitalization

The role of digital twin technology is important in enabling agile manufacturing. Part of the digital twin technology is the ability to create digital models from physical models. Transitioning from analogue to digital and using that information enhance the design or the design process is digitalization. In collaboration with the Bodylab we have digitalization technology for both physical objects and the human body.

Dined 3D

DINED is an open web platform for 1D to 4D anthropometry. It consists out of a database of 1D measurements and 3D body scans. The platform allows you to create target populations, compare and report measurement statistics (mean, sd, percentiles), plot and evaluate measurement correlations, and generate 3D design manikins, e.g. for product sizing system development.

Art scanner

New advances in 3D printing technology opens up opportunities to influence all aspects of the material appearance in 3D printed objects: not just colour printing, but also controlling surface texture, gloss and translucency. This, combined with scanning techniques from the computer graphics industry to create lifelike renderings and animations, can be used to make accurate reproductions of unique and valuable objects.

Oceanz print service

In collaboration with Oceanz, a 3D printing service located in the Netherlands students and staff are able to create high quality 3d prints for low prices. Students and staff will get a 40% discount on the Oceanz print service if parts are ordered via the CDAM. This enables students and staff to make use of expanded 3D printing techniques and postprocessing techniques to build high fidelity prototypes.

Computational Design

Digital manufacturing (e.g. 3D printing) enables the fabrication of complex shapes that are difficult or impossible to produce by conventional production techniques. Manually exploring the large design space unveiled by digital manufacturing becomes inefficient and inadequate. Furthermore, product customization necessitates a design process that is scalable. Computational design facilitates the design process with computational tools and methods, aiming at achieving the best design with less manual operation.
