Materials and New Technologies in Design

We explore responsible design of, with or for innovative technologies, materials or applications. Our starting point is an interest, need or problem experienced by a company or public service. We focus on integrating materials, technology and application. To achieve this, we make use of applied design research, design thinking, a selection method or sustainable design.

Key topics

We explore how to responsibly design from, with or for:

... innovative technology
... specific materials
... specific applications.

Our starting point is an interest, need or problem experienced by a company or public service. And we focus on integrating materials, technology and application. We answer the following questions:

  • What can you do with this (production) technology?
  • What are good applications for this (production) technology?
  • How do you implement this innovative technology?

We are actively pursuing the following research questions:

  • How can you use technology to (... objective)?
  • How can you use materials to (... objective)?         

  • How do you design for sustainability?

BIZ - Metal Printing

In this project, we investigated how 3D metal printing can add value to SMEs and what specific knowledge is needed to do so.

Collaborate?

We will help you with production processes, using innovative technology and researching new applications. Please contact us to discuss the options.

We investigate which production processes are appropriate for these new materials and conduct design research into suitable applications. Please contact us to discuss the options.

But are you not sure which materials or innovative technologies are suitable? We can collaborate with you to find the right basis for your application.
