DESIGN READINESS OF MULTI-MATERIAL CONCEPTS: MANUFACTURING AND JOINING TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATED EVALUATION OF CONCEPT MATURITY LEVELS USING CARDINAL COEFFICIENTS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2020
Abstract
Maturity levels of components in early phases of product development are often assessed with Technology Readiness Levels. However, developing Multi-Material-Design (MMD) concepts for lightweight design, not only the manufacturability of the individual components is decisive, but also their joinability with each other and their integration into the rest system. This paper presents an approach for the evaluation of maturity levels of MMD concepts on the basis of cardinal coefficients considering a time forecast of the manufacturing and joining technologies required in the concept.
