Learn how to create products that meet user need and are inclusive. Designers explain how they: research their market; consider the values and needs of their users and work with ergonomic and anthropometric data. The resource also explores how designers are responding to the challenges of demographic change and inclusive design. It provides examples relevant for resistant materials, product design and graphics courses.
This DVD explores what the food industry is doing to use less packaging. First it looks at the role and function of packaging. It then looks at the challenges of designing reduced packaging that not only looks good, but gets the product to the shelves in one piece. We also see how plastic bottles are recycled into new food grade plastic, before being formed into salad containers. An ideal resource for students studying Food Technology, Graphic Design, Resistant Materials, Product Design, Sustainability and Citizenship.
This programme gets students thinking about the 6Rs and what makes a material sustainable, including its carbon footprint, whether it's sourced from renewable or recycled materials and what happens at "end of life". Materials discussed include: wood, plastic and textiles. Also, we look round the UK's first zero carbon housing project and visit the Smile Plastics factory where anything from mobile phones to children's wellingtons are turned into building materials.
This resource looks at why and how specific plastics are recycled, regenerated and tested to fulfil the required characteristics for modern sustainable products. Includes: a chair made from Sony Playstations and washing machines that use parts made from recycled fridge plastic. The DVD also shows how new technology is used to process and convert waste products into high-grade polymers. We then see these plastics undergo destructive and non-destructive tests to identify their properties and characteristics.
A fantastic way to bring real and relevant industrial design into the classroom illustrating some of the considerations designers have to take into account. Footage of physical and virtual tests, filmed at Volvo's crash testing facility, will provide an excellent starting point for students when testing, evaluating and modifying their own designs. It also reinforces how engineers work collaboratively with designers to ensure that new technologies are harnessed with aesthetics.
Explains the design process within one easy context, from client brief to finished product. It shows how designers; work to budget, meet consumer needs, research existing products and use primary and secondary data. It explores the role of aesthetics and function, the importance of ergonomics and anthropometrics and the benefits of using CAD/CAM in testing, modelling and rapid prototyping to reduce cost, material and time.
Designing products that meet rigorous safety standards is an increasingly important skill - especially when it comes to products used by children. Trunki, the child's pull along suitcase, may have failed the BBC Dragon's Den test, but thanks to further testing and modification it's now taking the world by storm. We film with the product designer and at one of the world's leading test centres, to find out about the different tests carried out on children's products, why calibrating equipment is so important and how clever design reduced costs and time to market. Includes footage of rotational and injection moulding and mechanical and physical tests
This programme provides a thorough insight into how industry is adapting its design and manufacturing methods to consider social, moral and ethical implications. It demonstrates how Volvo are: eliminating emissions, reducing energy consumption and minimising waste to reduce the carbon footprint of their cars during manufacture, use and at "end of life". The importance of choosing sustainable materials is clearly explained as is the consideration of the product's life cycle.
Computer-aided design or CAD involves the use of computers and software to digitally create engineering drawings and models to aid in tooling and product design.
This program explores the tools and techniques used within these four fundamental computer-aided design categories:
2-Dimensional CAD
3-Dimensional Modeling
3D Assembly Design
CAD Analysis
The 2-dimensional CAD segment examines orthographic projection, workflow, and detailing.
The 3-dimensional modeling segment details the use of 2D sketching, feature-based parametric 3D modeling, and design editing.
The segment on 3D assembly design features an emphasis on part mating/alignment, interference detection, and dynamic motion.
The CAD analysis segment is broken down into four basic principles:

An Interview with Jose Paris, Exterior Designer, Ford Motor Company, USA. Interviews and Edited by Professor Paul G. Ranky
This electronic publication is a professional quality DVD video of an in-depth, technical interview with Jose Paris, Exterior Designer, Industrial Designer, Ford Motor Company, USA, focusing on the industrial design, exterior and interior design, the integrated product / process / manufacturing / quality and safety design aspects of an exciting new concept car. Interviews and Edited by Professor Paul G. Ranky, PhD, NJIT, USA.
What you will learn: Having watched the DVD video, you will be able to understand the way modern automobile design professionals think and reason when designing a new concept car. The focus in this case is industrial design, nevertheless the attention to detail and the knowledge of integrated, multi-faceted engineering design, materials science, manufacturing / assembly process technology, styling, quality engineering, and other disciplines, required to design a successful car, are also explained.
This program takes a look at the steps Washburn Guitars takes to create their high quality, customized guitars that reflect their tradition of craftsmanship and innovation. The process integrates Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Numeric Control Machines, and highly trained workers. This has improved product quality and reduced the number of labor-intensive tasks.
This program features an interview with Nicholas Dewhurst of Boothroyd Dewhurst regarding the concepts and use of DFMA in product analysis to understand the drivers of cost, and the interaction of the individual pieces within the product to optimize design, manufacturability, and assembly.
Two companies successful use of DFMA are also highlighted, including: MDS-SCIEX, a scientific instrumentation manufacturer, where implementation of DFMA philosophies helped reduce the product development design cycle for their API 2000 mass spectrometer from 48 months to 16 months; and Plug Power, a fuel cell manufacturer, where the integral use of DFMA facilitated development of their Proton Exchange membrane fuel cell systems at the lowest cost.

With the evolution of a new trailer and cart market for equipment transportation, new issues arose. This production illustrates how Tri-State Industries solved challenges they faced in this new market. The dynamics and considerations involved with cost, flexibility and capacity requirements are addressed. Tri-State improves, produces and delivers a quality product.
In order to achieve professional quality product process and service system design engineering skills, besides a strong analytical, digital design and digital manufacturing assembly engineering foundation, one needs to learn basic and often very simple design rules. One of the best ways to learn these rules is to disassemble and analyze various products, try to understand the design manufacturing assembly processes followed, and also learn from mistakes. In this program Professor Ranky introduces, and to some extent illustrates several basic product design, process design, design for quality, assembly disassembly, and other design rules with simple and practical examples whilst disassembling an inkjet printer on screen. In particular, the rules and principles discussed with examples include: design for quality, maintenance, assembly, disassembly, green eco-friendly design issues, cost, risk, the concept of designing components, modules, and systems that can be assembled, as well as disassembled, material selection issues, design for the environment, the principle of 'z' stacking for assembly disassembly, modular design principles, some part handling, and feeding issues, automated assembly and disassembly challenges, and others.
