Objectives Product design consists of a holistically design of the product, considering all technical and aesthetic-perceptual aspects. Technical design and industrial design merge. While the first is clearly defined and known, there are false beliefs and ideas about the second. The choice of a material for a product is not …
Objectives The lab class is a hands-on learning experience that gives students the skills and knowledge they need to design and create folding systems for various applications, including aerospace, robotics, and metamaterials. Topics The class is divided into three main sections: – Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Students will explore the realm …
Objectives This is a laboratory, hands-on course on additive manufacturing via inkjet printing. The student actively follows the whole process of designing a component, setting up the machine and its parameters, defining the printing strategy and the part-program. At the end of the course, the student knows the advantages, features, …
Objectives A wide range of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have been developed in the recent year to produce complex Geometries. These technologies are used to production metamaterials with extraordinary properties not found in natural materials. This course focuses on characterizing the microstructure and unique properties of metallic, ceramic, and polymeric …
Objectives A wide range of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have been developed in the recent year to produce complex samples, such as metalmaterials. Various AM methods can be employed depending on the material type. The course is aimed at showing different AM technologies used in the production of metal, ceramic …
Objectives The design of high-performance metamaterials and metastructures is a highly challenging problem from both the methodological and computational viewpoints due to the intrinsic complexity inherited from their multi-scale nature. Indeed, it often involves thousands of degrees-of-freedoms even for moderate-size devices composed by rather “simple” unit cells (UCs). Artificial Intelligence …
