ACADEM'13 addresses product design and manufacturing under an integrated approach by utilizing up-to-date computer technologies. Theoretical and lab sessions are organized to illustrate the current state of the art and open research areas, and to guide participants through the development of a product starting from concept to production planning and prototyping. In order to accomplish these goals, the course is divided in three thematic sections:

(1) Computer-Aided Design (CAD),

(2) Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), and

(3) Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM).

The school includes theoretical lectures integrated with a comprehensive set of lab exercises. During these sessions, the participants will learn basic and advanced topics of all three areas of interest. Current research results will be discussed and open problems for further research will be highlighted. In parallel, all participants will meet state-of-the-art software systems for product design, analysis, material assignment and optimization. A specifically developed product-design project will take place, where the participants will have the chance to develop a complete detailed design of a real-life product.

Period
01-07-2013 - 11-07-2013 (2 weeks)

Target group
The program is designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students (already enrolled in a Masters/Ph.D. program) in the fields of product design, engineering, architecture and computer science as well. Young professionals that wish to specialize or update their knowledge in the areas of CAD/ CAM/ CAE for product design are also welcome.



Course aim
To get acquainted with current advances in Product Design, Analysis and Manufacturing. To work in a team to develop a detailed product design. To familiarize with state of the art CAD software for 3D modeling and with Rapid Prototyping Technologies for producing fast 3D mock-up. To learn how to perform an in-depth analysis of your product design and how to select appropriate materials to optimize your product. To acquire knowledge on current manufacturing technologies based on robots. To see how the product-life cycle is adapted for the case of jewelry design and production.
