The growing presence of additive manufacturing (AM) in engineering has resulted in a
consequent need for AM and design for AM (DfAM) educational interventions in design …

This study explores the influence that an educational intervention has on students
generating requirements for a design task. An experiment was performed in a fourth-year …

Improving designers' ability to identify manufacturing constraints during design can help
reduce the time and cost involved in the development of new products. Different design for …

Unlocking additive manufacturing's (AM) potential requires designer expertise. Design for
additive manufacturing (DfAM) addresses this need but faces barriers, such as uncertainty in …

Proficiency in design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) requires training and a lot of trial and
error. To support the development of DfAM skills, we redesigned 47 design artifacts from …

Recent advances in digital fabrication are expanding the limits of fabricable real-world
designs. Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies allow exploring unconventional design …

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the production of very complex part geometries.
Nevertheless, there are process limitations that must be considered during the design …

In response to Covid-19, the South African Higher Education Sector was forced to switch to
remote learning and teaching practices. In this chapter, affordable digital communication …

Student self-efficacy, or a student's belief in their ability to perform particular tasks, positively
contributes to a number of beneficial student characteristics. The development of student …

A significant advance that greatly improves the educational process is the incorporation of
3D models and CAD/VR technology. With the help of these tools, which create a dynamic …
