Shedding Excess Weight from Products
In this interactive roundtable talk moderated by DE's Kenneth Wong, panelists discuss: Moving from simulation to optimization, balancing passenger safety vs. lightweight design, assessing software-proposed designs for manufacturing cost and feasibility, and the weight loss achievable with new materials and manufacturing methods.
January 15, 2016
See how to remove unnecessary weight from product designs without compromising on product safety.
Optimizing products to weigh less can lower material costs, meet demands for smaller products and more fuel efficient vehicles, and result in exciting new designs.
But how can engineers ensure those designs can be manufactured and are structurally sound?
Join us for an unscripted, interactive round-table discussion on:
- How to move from simulation to optimization
- Problems and issues associated with software-proposed designs
- Opportunities presented by additive manufacturing with metals and composites
