The Efficient Manufacturing Process Development challenge develops and demonstrates new computational methods to relate manufacturing parameters to defect formation, and a connection to commercial design and analysis software allowing structural optimization while resolving predicted manufacturing issues.
More »This technical challenge addresses the ability to reduce manufacturing development time by reducing the number of iterations and by better predicting and addressing quality issues. It enables more control of processes that can streamline product certification, and increases accountabililty for manufacturing constraints improving preliminary designs reducing the likelihood of rework.
