“…Therefore, technology development is the process resulting in "new knowledge, new technology, a technical capability, or a technological platform" (Cooper, 2006). It often takes place during the front-end of innovation or at the same time as an earlystage product development (Aristodemou et al, 2019;Brilhuis-Meijer et al, 2016). During the technology development process, companies periodically evaluate the progress of the technology, in an activity called technology assessment.…”

“…Decision-makers in the technology development process face significant uncertainty and complexity, whether considering only financial or also sustainability information (Mitchell et al, 2022;Villamil et al, 2022). These projects tend to be riskier and follow less formalised processes (when comparedto product development projects), which amplifies the uncertainty issues (Aristodemou et al, 2019;Koen et al, 2001). A major source of uncertainty, especially in relation to sustainability, stems from the lack of context information -as technology development projects can be foundational to new product platforms or even new businesses (Cooper, 2006), one technology may be used in several applications with different degrees of social and environmental impacts.…”

“…Technology development is one of the activities that often takes place in the frontend of innovation, leading companies to explore new product or process development opportunities (Cooper, 2006;Koen et al, 2001). The technology development process is, as a very early design activity, critical to the success of the commercial projects which it will shape (Aristodemou et al, 2019). Thus, special attention must be given to the decisions that take place during technology development.…”

The Effects of Scenarios on Decision-Making Quality in Early Design – An Empirical Study

Scenario planning is often used in design practice to foster futures thinking, reduce uncertainties and improve decision-making. Scenarios are especially relevant for innovation activities in manufacturing companies, such as technology development, a particularly uncertain process where many trade-offs occur. This study is, to the authors knowledge, the first to empirically measure the effect of scenarios in decision-making quality, in the context of technology development. In a quasi-experiment, engineers from a manufacturing company and university students were independently asked to analyse a trade-off situation between environmental and financial aspects of a technology concept, with and without scenarios. The quality of decision-making quality for control and experiment groups was measured through a standardized questionnaire. The results show that scenarios had a positive impact in 6 of the 7 quality decision-making practices (QMDP), although the effect size is small. The results suggest that both expert and novice designers may benefit from using scenario planning when performing early-stage design activities by having awareness of the decision context, a more structured decision process, and clearer decision criteria.

“…A Big Picture model [15] proposes several product development processes imposing a holistic and integrated view on this issue. It is characteristic of several paths considering uncertainty and risk, dealing with gathering appropriate pieces of information, and finally different types of innovations [18]. It is symptomatic that the design activities perceived as creations and innovations usually consist of such activities as the setting of product assumptions, modelling of the product, prototyping, testing, and preparing the product for the manufacturing phase [15,16,19].…”

The study is devoted to the co-design concept which is not widely studied in the manufacturing industry area. The concept is just practiced but not theorized and not investigated enough, although it greatly deserves it because of its perspectives and advantages potential in the technology changes era. This study aims to present an investigation of literature views on co-design in manufacturing operations, with the comparison to service literature where it is widely discussed; the study also aims at in-depth investigations of co-design occurrences in two industrial cases of product development to understand their nature and circumstances. In addition, the influence of Industry 4.0 technologies and their coexistence with the concept of sustainability will also be strongly taken into consideration in the empirical part of this study. The process of the individualized production of the industrial line for animal food packing and cardboard packaging production has been studied according to case study methodology. The study demonstrates that co-design could contribute to bettering the process of new product development and achieving products more accurate for the final users' requirements. It goes hand in hand with one of the core ideas of sustainability, which is to have long-lasting products, exploited by the customer with a high level of satisfaction for a longer time. The study implies that the technologies of Industry 4.0 could support wider and more effective co-design exploitation by manufacturing entities.

“…The major deficit of Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (EAM) compared to conventional polymeric manufacturing techniques is the directional bias resulting from the layer-by-layer deposition [ 4 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Due to incomplete fusion bonding across the interlayer interface, the molecular entanglement is inferior to the bulk of the strand, resulting in increased porosity along the weld line.…”

Foundational Investigation on the Characterization of Porosity and Fiber Orientation Using XCT in Large-Scale Extrusion Additive Manufacturing

The great potential of Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (EAM) for structural prototyping in the automotive industry is severely limited by the directional bias in the build direction. The layerwise fabrication leads to reduced mechanical properties at the layer-to-layer interface compared to the bulk of the strand. Especially for the often-used semi-crystalline thermoplastics, the mechanical properties strongly depend on the processing parameters, even more so if short fibers are used as fillers. Therefore, ideal processing windows in which the mechanical strength and modulus in the z-direction reach their maximum can be identified for these parameters, resulting in a reduced directional bias. The influence of the EAM processing parameters on mechanical strength has already been investigated, correlating strength with thermal conditions during printing. However, these considerations did not distinguish between the thermal effect on the polymer properties, the formation of voids and pores at the layer interface, and the resulting fiber orientation for different strand proportions. Therefore, in this study, the effect of different processing temperatures and layer heights on the pore size and distribution, as well as the fiber orientation in the different regions of the mesostructure was investigated using X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT).
