МОДЕЛЬ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ РАЗРАБОТКИ ЭКСТРУЗИОННЫХ 3D-ПРИНТЕРОВ

A model of innovative product development based on a process approach and characterized by taking into account feedbacks between the stages of product creation and the mutual influence of the products being developed within one stage is presented.Each product is characterized by a variety of internal quality parameters X. As the product development process progresses, the values of quality parameters are changed within each stage. At the entrance, the transition between stages and the exit from the funnel, there are barriers to assessing the quality parameters of X products.The proposed model and calculation formulas make it possible to organize work to improve the efficiency of the product creation process, in particular, to assess the distribution of developments by stages, including the search for the optimal number of stages, the maximum period of finding and requirements for the transition of development to the next stage.On the basis of this mathematical model, using AnyLogic software, calculations of the dynamics of the passage of the product at each stage of development were carried out. The process of developing an extrusion 3D printer includes 5 stages: development and development of an idea, development of a 3D printer working chamber, development of an extruder, development of 3D printer electronics, prototype development. The initial data for the calculations were provided by the LLC "Company IMPRINTA", which is engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of Hercules brand 3D printers. As a result of the simulation, a graph of the total number of developments received at each stage was obtained. To optimize the process of creating new products, the corresponding AnyLogic module was used. The possibilities of optimizing the current structure of the organization of 3D printer development in the LLC "Company IMPRINTA" are considered. Two directions of optimization are proposed: reducing the number of excluded projects by selecting the required minimum load of each stage and the maximum time spent on the development stage; increasing the number of successful developments by selecting the minimum requirements for each stage and the intensity of incoming developments at the entrance to the funnel. It was possible to reduce the number of excluded developments by 30%.

Marketing Innovation Through Integrated Social Media in Small Bussiness Wood Artists by Karya Langit Mangunan Bantul

This study aims to design a way of marketing wooden handicraft products in the 'Karya Langit' Craftsmen Group. Product marketing originally relied on word of mouth (WOM). In this research, marketing is done using integrated social media. Marketing through integrated social media is assumed to expand the market and allow craftsmen to communicate with consumers without the constraints of distance or pandemic situations. The method used by the researcher is a qualitative method that is exploratory in nature. Exploration here is in the context of extracting material to create social media content, both images, and product creation processes. The steps taken are (1) Exploring material that will be used as content on social media; (2) Processing the material to be used as content on social media; (3) Creating promotional applications on social media; (4) Training on content creation and uploading to social media. The results showed that 'Karya Langit' woodcraft products have strength in the types of kitchen utensils and health accessories. As for the type of decoration they bring from outside. It still takes time to educate the craftsmen to promote on social media because the process, according to them, is not instant.

Knowledge-Based Adaptation of Product and Process Design in Blisk Manufacturing

Abstract Early and efficient harmonization between product design and manufacturing represents one of the most challenging tasks in engineering. Concepts such as simultaneous engineering aim for a product creation process, which addresses both, functional requirements as well as requirements from production. However, existing concepts mostly focus on organizational tasks and heavily rely on the human factor for the exchange of complex information across different domains, organizations, or systems. Nowadays product and process design make use of advanced software tools such as computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering systems (CAD/CAM/CAE). Modern systems already provide seamless integration of both worlds in a single digital environment to ensure a continuous workflow. Yet, for the holistic harmonization between product and process design, the following aspects are missing: (i) the digital environment does not provide a complete and data consistent digital twin of the component; this applies especially to the process design and analysis environment, (ii) due to the lack of process and part condition data in the manufacturing environment, an adaptation of product and process design for a balanced functionality and manufacturability is hindered, and (iii) systematic long-term data analytics across different product and process designs with the ultimate goal to transfer knowledge from one product to the next and to accelerate the entire product development process is not considered. This paper presents an exploration concept which couples product design (CAD), process design (CAM), process simulation (CAE), and process adaptation in a single software system. The approach provides insights into correlations and dependencies between input parameters of product/process design and the process output. The insights potentially allow for a knowledge-based adaptation, tackling well-known optimization issues such as parameter choice or operation sequencing. First results are demonstrated using the example of a blade integrated disk (blisk) .

Benchmarking digital education programs on social entrepreneurship: what a digital program on social entrepreneurship can learn from other digital social entrepreneurship programs

ABSTRACT Social entrepreneurship education is becoming a must-have for academic institutions. However, there is little agreement on how to consider dimensions like international scope, interdisciplinary participation and educational format. This paper illustrates how benchmarking can support the product creation and improvement process of such an educational program offered in a digital format. Social Entrepreneurship for Local Change (SELC) is a European Union funded Erasmus+ consortium, which developed a digital social entrepreneurship course. The program’s goal was to serve basic educational objectives of its students and teachers as well as strategic goals of the universities and the European Commission. Benchmarking, which has evolved to benchlearning, is a strategic management tool that measures the practices of one organization against the best practices of leading organizations in the same area. In this paper, the practices of SELC’s digital program were benchmarked against two more mature digital social entrepreneurship programs using qualitative methods and resulting in a comparative scorecard. By recognizing and addressing quality gaps revealed by the benchmarking process, SELC’s administrators can improve their own quality and put the program in the best position to achieve its goals.

Automated 3D scan based CAD-repositioning for design and verification in one-off construction

The presented engineering discipline one-off construction is characterized by a multiplicity of manual processes. As almost all modern product developments, the manufacture is based on the creation and consistent use of digital models. Quality of underlying data can vary greatly and it is not certain that digital models match the actual state of construction. This can result in the need for rework after production or installation. Especially challenging in the area of premium products, for which high quality, scarce materials are used and tight schedules are defined. If physical products are reworked, the corresponding digital models must be manually maintained. At present, attempts are being made to counteract these late adjustments by means of physical mock-ups or visual inspection of 3D scan data. Such scan data is used for automated adaptation of underlying digital models to the actual state of the physical construction. Existing Point Cloud Library functionalities were adapted and further algorithms were designed. The developed software backend was integrated into the existing software architecture. During the software development, great care was taken to ensure that the backend is based on open source content. The results show significant improvements of the data basis for the subsequent engineering activities. This will lead to a significant reduction of manual effort and rework, ensuring development cycles and even shorten delivery times. It reduces costs in the product creation process and sustainably strengthens confidence in digital models used. It has been shown that automation of design processes can have productivity-enhancing effects in one-off construction.

Developing a knowledge-based system for the design of innovative product creation processes for network enterprises

The relevance of developing knowledge-based systems used to support innovative processes for creating products and services is related to the objective need to reduce the life cycle of products under the influence of modern digital technologies in developing network enterprises. Well-known research results in the field of model-oriented design of products, processes, systems and enterprises do not fully provide semantic interoperability in the interaction of stakeholders in the innovation process. The aim of this work is to build a knowledge-based system architecture that implements semantic interoperability of network enterprise participants at various stages of the product lifecycle. The work is based on the use of a model-oriented approach to building a digital thread at all stages of the product lifecycle, an ontological approach to semantic modeling of a distributed knowledge base and a multi-agent approach to organizing interaction between interested participants in the innovation process. The paper proposes a functional architecture of a knowledge-based system that includes modules for planning the innovation process, forming product value characteristics and functional requirements, construction and value chain design. A multi-level system of ontologies of the innovation process is also developed and its application in the work of functional modules that provide access to associated knowledge bases is described. The development of knowledge-based systems based on the results obtained will allow us to find the best design solutions for the configuration of products and corresponding value chains due to the possible iteration of the innovation process and increasing the semantic interoperability of network enterprise stakeholders.

An Expression Language In Graphic Design: Rebus Design

Grafik tasarım alanında ele alınan bu çalışma, görsel bir cinas türü olarak Rebus’un kullanım biçimlerini örneklerle birlikte açıklamaktadır. Rebus, genel bir tanımlamaya göre; anlamlı bir kelime ya da kelime öbeği oluşturmak için görsellerle harflerin ve/veya kelime parçalarının birleştirilmesi ile oluşturulan görsel bulmacalara verilen isimdir. Resimli alfabe (resfebe) ya da resimli bilmece olarak da bilinen rebus, grafik tasarım bağlamında, yaratıcı üretim sürecini destekleyen görsel bir cinas türü olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Rebus ilkesi ile oluşturulan tasarımlar, bir yandan mesajın/metnin algılanması ve anlaşılmasına odaklanırken; diğer yandan bir bulmaca özelliği taşıyarak izleyiciyi eğlendirme işlevini de beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu bağlamda rebus, grafik tasarım alanında dikkat çekiciliği sağlayan bir anlatım dilidir. Bir bulmaca özelliği taşımak ve eğlendirici bir işleve sahip olmanın yanında rebus kullanımının birincil görevi işlevsel, fonksiyonel tasarımlar oluşturmak ve yaratıcı düşüncenin geliştirilmesi sürecinde etkin rol oynamaktır. Grafik tasarım alanında kullanımı oldukça yaygın olan rebus tasarımlar kimi zaman bilinçli olarak, kimi zaman ise bilinçsiz bir biçimde, bir başka deyişle rebus ilkesine uygun tasarımlar üretme kaygısı taşımadan oluşturulmaktadır. Ancak grafik tasarım bilinçli bir üretim sürecini gerektirmektedir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın özgünlüğü rebus kullanımının detaylı bir anlatımının yapılmasıyla bilinçli üretim sürecine katkı sağlaması ve tasarım sürecinde rebusun ‘üretim biçimleri’ doğrultusunda nasıl sınıflandırılabileceğini göstermesidir.

The development of a performance hand wear and tools product innovation framework

Humans wear products and use tools that interface with their hands to provide abrasion resistance, impact protection, grip, thermal comfort, and detailed maneuvers. The skills needed to design new and innovative products for the hand are multi-faceted. Academic programs in the US typically focus on soft goods (textile and apparel) or hard goods (industrial and product design/engineering) based design. Therefore, students often do not learn all of the available skills and technologies needed to design hand wear performance products because of the pedagogical split between the different academic disciplines. This case study outlines a three-phase innovation framework, for use by designers throughout the product creation process, specifically for creating performance products and tools for the hand. The phases include strategies for: (1) understanding the hand wear and tool project background, (2) defining the user’s 3D and 2D hand and (3) hand wear and tool product innovation. The paper will also demonstrate how the framework was implemented by students in a graduate level design studio, to create new gloves for athletes. The framework could also be used by students and professionals to design innovative products for other users and to improve safety and overall performance.

THE CONTENT AND ROLE OF INTRINSIC MOTIVATION IN CREATIVE WORK: THE IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING “ENJOYMENT”

The present paper assesses the “content” and “role” of intrinsic motivation during the creative production process. Based on semi-structured interviews with 16 light-entertainment television producers-directors in South Korea, it was observed that intrinsic motivation towards creative work included a desire to maintain enjoyment from such activities. Enjoyment was classified into two types: enjoyment based on job expectations and enjoyment based on the actualization of individual creative ambitions. Additionally, intrinsic motivation tended to provide a strong buffer against unfavourable working conditions that resulted from market principles (viewership ratings), economic stability, and work-life balance. Overall, the present results suggest that creative workers’ tendencies to endure various undesirable working conditions are based on a strong intrinsic motivation to maintain enjoyment from their career.

Hybridity In New Media: A Pre-Production Guideline

‘New’ technologies have disrupted the creative process of arts and media production, but no common professional practice seems to have drastically changed. ‘New' is only a trick, a temporary euphoria indicating that creative arts and media are on its way to the utopian future. Currently, creative arts and media practitioners are influenced by the dynamically developing technologies and the big issue is that they accepted every innovational media technology unknowingly, everything is normal, but every changes lead to a new normal. 
 The purpose of this paper is to discover the new creative production process that influenced by new technologies. In the process of discovery, this paper uses a Practice-based Research methodology by Estelle Barrett to acknowledge the capability of these media technologies by utilising creative practices. All findings in this research are discovered by experimenting on contemporary audio visual and interactive technologies. The result of this journal is a guideline for preparing new media production.

Intensive mode screen production: an Australian case study in designing university learning and teaching to mirror ‘real-world’ creative production processes

ABSTRACT Since 2014 an experiment in the delivery of ‘intensive’ mode and ‘blended’ learning and teaching in screen production has been conducted at an Australian university. It was designed to investigate if a teaching situation that more closely approximates the intensity and urgency of ‘real-world’ screen-production was achievable and/or desirable in a university context more accustomed to a weekly tutorial and workshop model. Implications of this restructured ‘intensive’ teaching model on the student experience, and staff research-time are discussed in this paper. Five years after first being implemented, the project recently won a national teaching award and has been considered a pedagogical success. This paper also considers some limits to this success within the university context.

An approach for agile planning of disassembly and recycling of complex products

Manufacturing companies nowadays are more than ever compelled to adapt to the challenges of constantly changing conditions in the product creation process. The exchange of digital data and data processing are pre-requisites for improvements of agility from initial idea to disassembly and recycling. The 3D PDF format offers not only the ability to visualise 3D data without installing or licensing a CAD system, but also allows the data to be dynamically adjusted, commented and animated in a template container. In this paper, a concept for the use of 3D PDF is presented regarding a defined workflow for disassembly and recycling within the product creation process. After having identified a distinctive field of studies with the help of the model, it is to work out a new use case. Later in the paper, a workflow is developed and finally a prototypical example of the 3D PDF document is implemented.

Methods-Energy Measurement – An approach for sustainable energy planning of manufacturing technologies

Given the self-declared energy and environmental protection objectives of many car manufacturers responsible companies must use energy-efficient production technologies. The running costs of production sites are a decisive factor in the overhead of automotive production. Therefore, it is important for many operators to reduce those costs in a sustainable way. For this purpose, they attempt to reduce both the energy consumption costs and CO2 emissions of production systems. However, most components of the energy costs are determined during the very early phases of the product creation process. To achieve an estimation of the energy consumption in this early planning stage, a new suitable forecasting method is required. Therefore, this paper presents an approach for determining the prospective energy consumption by using Methods-Energy Measurement combined with defined energy reference cycles for manufacturing technologies. With this approach, key performance indicators are defined, and the production technologies are divided into basic energy consumers. The average energy values will be determined empirically by using the defined energy reference cycles. With these data, the energy demands for different scenarios are calculated. Thereby, it is possible to estimate the potential energy consumption of complex manufacturing cells. The designed method is validated within a case study of a modern automotive body shop. In summary, the approach contributes to identify and realize sustainable solutions in advance and thus increase the profitability of a factory.
