Introduction Additive Manufacturing, colloquially known as 3D printing, has progressively gained importance not only in various fields of business but also in the daily life of consumers. The technology is capable of joining various materials and creating objects from 3D data, usually, layer upon layer in contrast to traditional subtractive

Design-to-Cost (DTC) is a management strategy and supporting methodologies to achieve an affordable product by treating target cost as an independent design parameter that needs to be achieved during a product’s development. Design-to-Cost, as part of cost management techniques, describes a systematic approach to controlling the costs of product development

The topology optimization method solves the fundamental engineering problem of distributing a limited amount of material in a design space. In general, topology optimization programs enable designers to create a robust and lightweight design and minimize material usage. Often, the result is an organic shape, like something one would find

Convergence Consulting believes that the process of Reverse Engineering is exceptionally beneficial because it accelerates the product development process and improves the quality of the products realized. So, first of all, we try to explain what is Reverse Engineering? Every time we capture physical reality to use as part of

Nowadays, every company is looking to increase their performance through new methodologies and/or technologies that can offer a quantum leap in generative design and development. Today we want to talk about a new quantum leap: “Performance-Driven Generative Design Methods.” Performance-driven generative design methods can produce and stimulate solutions based on

Additive manufacturing, as now well known, produces objects by adding material rather than subtracting or melting it. Objects are made by depositing metals or polymers layer by layer instead of obtaining them by forging, injection molding, casting, or chip removal. In the initial stages of additive manufacturing, little importance was
