Industrial Engineering Design tools and methods
The research group mainly deals with the following topics:
– reconstruction, representation and analysis of geometric models of free-form surfaces or mechanical components, – geometric products specification and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, – methods for geometric modeling, design and simulation dedicated to additive technologies, especially for lightweight and lattice structures, – innovative design methodsThese topics find often application in industrial and biomedical fields, where geometric complexity is an important element for the process management. Research activities are supported by a laboratory that is equipped with 3D scanners, 3D printers with binder jetting, stereolithography and fused deposition modeling technologies, coordinate measuring machines, profilometer, roughness tester, mechanical testing machines, CAD / CAE, reverse engineering and additive manufacturing
