Abstract: This article describes a case study of an application of the method of creating innovations called SCAMPER for the development of new abrasive tools designed for machining of hard-to-cut materials. The SCAMPER method is used for innovative transformations of existing products, aimed at a modernization of their design, a construction and an extension of functions. This method was used in the procedure of modifying abrasive tools and it permitted a generation of a set of innovative solutions in this field. The methodology made it also possible to logically organize individual creative activities supported by the previously accumulated theoretical and experimental knowledge.

Enhancing the Outcome of Mechanical Engineering Design Course with the SCAMPER Methodology Framework

“…Concentrating on the design aspect, the study by (Plichta et al, 2018) presents a case study utilizing the SCAMPER method for innovating abrasive tools used in machining challenging materials, demonstrating its effectiveness in modernizing designs, enhancing functions, and generating innovative solutions, while also providing a structured approach for creative activities supported by theoretical and experimental knowledge. Another qualitative study investigated the efficacy of the SCAMPER technique from the perspective of Vocational College students, revealing that while some students unconsciously used the technique, they were generally unaware of it; however, the findings underscore the technique's potential to significantly enhance creativity and thinking skills in learning, particularly in fields like fashion design (Kamis et al, 2020).…”
