Design for manufacture
split into 3 different subtopic
Design for materials
design for process
design for assembly
Design For Materials
Designing in relation to materials during processing, rather than designing for the final desired properties of the end product in use.
Design for process
designing to enable the product to be manufactured using a specific process e.g. injection molding
Design for assembly
taking account of the assembling process at various levels
Embodied Energy
the sum of all energy required to produce that product
local combined heat and power
CHP generates electricity whilst also capturing usable heat that is produced in this process
Personal Energy Systems
E.g Solar Panels
is the small-scale generation of heat and electric power by homes (also small businesses and small communities) to meet their own needs. \n •It is an alternative or can supplement traditional centralized grid-connected power. \n •Lower negative impact on the environment \n •Lower costs for the consumer \n •High initial capital cost \n •also known as micro-generation
Mitigation
directly stopping or reducing emissions
clean tech
a product that reduces waste and requires as few non renewable resources as possible
Drivers For Clean Tech (what makes a company go green)
social - how consumers affect a company’s way of production
political - radical and incremental solutions
economical - how regulations affect a company’s way of production
Incremental Solutions
predictable development, that takes time. but has exploitation and small potential for market growth
Radical Solutions
exploration of new technologies, high potential of market growth, creation of new industries, improved reputation, but is unpredictable, and high uncertainty of success
End of Pipe
a method used to remove already formed contaminants typically at the end of the process of production
CAD
Computer Aided Design
Adv
easily shareable
easily editable
iterations can be made with ease
Dis Adv
High set up cost (only for multiple systems)
initial learning difficulty
not very creative
LCA
Life Cycle Analysis
Pre-production (extraction of material)
Production
Distribution (includes packaging)
Utilisation
Disposal
Cradle To Cradle
living with the earth rather than on the earth
Conceptual Modeling
a description of a proposed system in terms of a set of integrated ideas and concepts about what it should do
Low Fidelity
cheap
fast
Medium fidelity
more refined
fast
CAD
still rough
High fidelity
fine details
longer process
to scale
