Product development has been transformed by global events. Not only are teams now working remotely, suppliers have changed and the timescales for production upended, but there’s demand to develop new lightweight, more energy efficient products.
Cloud-based solutions are now the priority for large organisations, while adjusting to remote working means new tools and software have been created to keep everyone on the same page.
Lightweighting products – whether by more traditional topology optimisation or a new class of machine learning, cloud-enabled generative exploration tools – is a driver from aerospace to automotive, while demands for greater sustainability and right-to-repair means the landscape of consumer electronics is changing fast.
Then there’s the question of how this all fits with your manufacturing supply chain, and how developments there can have positive effects right at the beginning of the design stage.
At DEVELOP3D LIVE we’re bringing all this and more together for a free single day event.
Ocado Technology will explain how it has cut the weight of its robot design with huge organisational benefits. Vital Automotive will show how it is transforming early-stage automotive design with cutting edge physical prototyping and human-machine interface input.
Putting some high-speed zip into the talks is the design director behind the BAC Mono, a new breed of car focussed on the bespoke experience of its owner and enabled by the very latest technologies.
With expert opinion across all three stages, including the latest from Solidworks, Fusion 360, Creo, nTopology and more, there will also be panel sessions covering topics as diverse as start-up advice through to top tier digital manufacturing, as well as the chance to try out a huge variety of tech in the exhibition.
The industry is in a radical new phase, and how we design and engineer products to take advantage of all the new tools and methodologies will be the core focus at DEVELOP3D LIVE, held 1 November 2022 at the University of Sheffield.
