Only one course can be chosen per semester.
0.4 credits1KK. Shea
AbstractYou will learn about different Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing, AM) processes and Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) methods. You will apply these methods to design your own AM part and print it.
ObjectiveBasic Knowledge of AM processes, DfAM methods, and design applications will be acquired to enable students to solve design problems and prototype using this new paradigm in manufactuing. They will get hands-on experience applying both generative and restrictive DfAM methods. They will also design their own AM artifact and have the opportunity to manufacture it using AM.
Content1. Additive Manufacturing Processes and Applications (1 afternoon)
- Process overview and examples of the following processes: FDM, Polyjet, SLS, SLA
2.Design Heuristics for Additive Manufacturing Methods (1 Afternoon)
- Overview and Application
- Original AM design project
3. Detailed Design for Additive Manufacturing Methods (1 Afternoon)
- Overview of detailed DfAM methods
- Application of detailed DfAM methods to AM design project from previous day
- Building of an AM part in Siemens NX
- Generation and submission of STL file for printing
Lecture notesAvailable on Moodle.
Prerequisites / NoticeSuccessful completion of CAD & Technical Drawing, Laptop with Siemens NX (NX is available for free for students through idesnx.ethz.ch).

0.4 credits1KK. Shea, T. Stankovic
AbstractParticipants will learn about the Computer-Aided Engineering fundamentals and methods that are necessary for successful design of modern technical products. The focus will be placed on the simulation-driven design in the context of product development process as well as on the fundamentals of the design optimization.
ObjectiveBasic Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) knowledge and skills will be acquired to enable students to recognize both the advantages and the limitations of current CAE tools. Examples of how to build feature-based and parametric models for simulation-driven design automation will be given along with common pitfalls. The CAE environment will be the Siemens NX 8.5 which couples the simulation modeling (e.g. structural, thermal, flow, motion, and multiphysics) with design optimization and Feature-Based Design (FBD). After taking the course students should be able to independently create effective feature-based and parametric models to suit the requirements of simulation-driven design.
Content1. Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) methods and tools in context of design process (2 afternoons):
* CAE in the context of the design process
* Simulation-driven design
* Introduction to design optimization
* Features, parameterization and synchronous modeling technology
* Basic design optimization examples
* Introduction to Finite-Element Method (FEM) with basic examples

2. Simulation-Driven Design with application to structural design (1 afternoon):
* Coupling simulation with structural design optimization and feature based-design
* Simulation driven design examples (single parts and assemblies)

4 credits2GK. Shea, T. Stankovic
AbstractThe course introduces students to the product development process. In a team, you will explore the early phases of conceptual development and product design, from ideation and concept generation through to hands-on prototyping. This is an opportunity to gain product development experience and improve your skills in prototyping and presenting your product ideas. The project topic changes each year.
ObjectiveThe course introduces you to the product development process and methods in engineering design for: product planning, user-centered design, creating product specifications, ideation including concept generation and selection methods, material selection methods and prototyping. Further topics include product lifecycle and sustainable design as well as design for manufacture, focusing on additive manufacture. You will actively apply the process and methods learned throughout the semester in a team on a product development project including hands-on prototyping.
ContentWeekly topics accompanying the product development project include:
1 Introduction to Product Development and Engineering Design
2 Product Planning and Social-Economic-Technology (SET) Factors
3 User-Centered Design and Product Specification
4 Concept Generation and Selection Methods
5 System Design and Embodiment Design
6 Hands-On Prototyping and Prototype Planning
7 Material Selection in Engineering Design
8 Product Lifecycle and Sustainability
9 Design for Manufacture and Design for Additive Manufacture

AbstractThis course covers fundamentals of physics-based modelling and numerical optimization from the perspective of computational fabrication and robotics applications.
ObjectiveStudents will learn how to represent, model and algorithmically control the behavior of complex physical systems through simulation-based methodologies. The lectures are accompanied by programming assignments (written in C++), hand-on exercises involving digital fabrication technologies, as well as a capstone project.
Contentmass-spring and FEM simulation methods; multibody systems; kinematics and dynamics; constrained and unconstrained numerical optimization; PDE-constrained optimization, forward and inverse design; shape and topology optimization; simulation, optimization, fabrication and control for compliant robots; robotic manipulation of elastically-deforming objects.
Prerequisites / NoticeExperience with C++ programming, numerical linear algebra and multivariate calculus. Some background in physics-based modeling, kinematics and dynamics is helpful, but not necessary.
