Evaluating Inclusive Design Tools: An Insight
(Proceedings of the Include 2011, Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, Royal College of Art, UK, 2011)
Over the years, there are a number of tools and methods developed to support inclusive
design, and new tools and methods are being developed to plug existing gaps or meet
new needs. However, there is a lack of evidence ...
Making the tacit explicit through design tools: the development of a Colab and iD Cards to support industrial design and engineering design practice
(International Conference 2011 of the DRS Special Interest Group on Experiential Knowledge - EKSIG 2011, University for the Creative Art, Farnham, UK, 2011)
An ethnographic approach towards understanding the food shopping experience of the elderly consumer.
(Tsinghua-DMI International Design Management Symposium 2011, 2011-12-03)
The elderly consumer has become more attractive to food retailers as they have a higher disposable income and set aside a larger budget for their groceries. From the literature review, it was found that very little studies ...
Additive Manufacturing in South Africa: Building on the Foundations
(Emerald, 2011)
Purpose – In a previous Rapid Prototyping Journal paper, the authors reviewed the first decade of rapid prototyping (RP) use within the Republic of South Africa (RSA). The paper analysed its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities ...
Communicating and Contextualising New Product Development Tools and Methods for Engineering Students
(Royal Academy of Engineering - National HE STEM Programme, 2011-09-13)
The nature of New Product Development (NPD) is poorly understood by undergraduate engineering students but can be a challenging and rewarding career for those who chose to work in the field. The aim of this project was to ...
Entry level RP machines: How well can they cope with geometric complexity
(Emerald, 2011)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the limitations of entry-level rapid prototyping (ELRP) machines when fabricating objects with high complexity.
Design / methodology / approach – The literature review ...
Visualising Ergonomics data for design
(18th International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED11), 2011)
Over the years, there are a number of tools and methods developed to support inclusive
design, and new tools and methods are being developed to plug existing gaps or meet
new needs. However, there is a lack of evidence ...
A Taxonomic Classification of Visual Design Representations Used by Industrial Designers and Engineering Designers
(The Design Journal, 2011)
In the context of new product development (NPD), research has shown that not having a common understanding of visual design representations (VDRs) has affected collaboration between industrial designers and engineering ...
Every little does indeed help
(Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors - The Ergonomist, 2011)
Ageing has been closely linked to loss of agility and strength that makes shopping a challenge for the elderly. The results from this research have revealed a number of issues that senior shoppers face at supermarkets in ...
