How we need to be thinking- complex geometries
SCHIVO.....engineering Partnerships
For example- moulds for injection moulding
SCHIVO.....engineering Partnerships
Current thinking outside the box…….
• Faster implementation of new designs/concepts.
SCHIVO.....engineering Partnerships
How can this technology be capitalised on by industry?
• Implementation of new concepts & geometries that cannot be
manufactured using traditional methods.
• However, new thinking is needed from a product design perspective
to ensure that we don’t just use a new technology to make the same
stuff!
• Mass customisation- particularly in medical applications.
