Design for X

Description

Design for Assembly

Design for Assembly according to Boothroyd and Dewhurst approach to reduce the number of components and assembly time.
Conceptual Design for Assembly according to the Stone & McAdams approach used in the conceptual design phases to reduce assembly costs and production processes.

Design for Disassembly
Design for Disassembly according to the Priority Matrix and Disassembly Sequences approach, to identify critical operations and critical disassembly paths

Design for End of Life
Design for End of Life according to the Materials Selection approach to comply with regulations (REACH, RoHS, etc.) and to increase product recyclability.

Laboratories

The activities are carried out in the Virtual Prototyping laboratory
