Industrial Design and Manufacturing
Student’s view

Presentation contents:
• Short overview of the past 1,5 years
• Twente and Dortmund
• Pre-master in Denmark

First year:
•Subjects and project
• Twente phase
•Visits to companies
•Milestone meetings

First year:
Subjects and project
• Dortmund phase
Milestone meetings
Workshops
Differences in teaching and examinations

First year:
• Dortmund phase

Twente and Dortmund phase:
• Subjects International master,
everything in English
• Project
• ...
Corresponding in (technical) meetings is difficult at first,
but you learn fast.
Even the teachers sometimes have a hard time!

Overall conclusion:
1. Twente phase was hard work and more theoretical
2. Dortmund phase was more relaxed (due to hard
work in Twente phase) and more practical

IDM group 2004/2005 consisted of:
• 13 Dutch
• 1 Mexican
• 1 Thai
2 projectgroups
In Dortmund all in 1 ‘house’

Due to a renovation of the dorm for foreign students in Dortmund
Accomodation in Witten, 9 km south-west of Dortmund
House in Witten was also renovated

Project: Lamp changer
“…Design and develop a prototype for a device which
can change a variety of lamps at a height of 5 meters
both straight and under an angle …”
Compared to former assignments, not really
challenging.
But,

• More time:
• to implement the given subjects into the project
• to develop a perfect drawing package
• to test and adjust the prototype
• to find a suitable internship
• to do fun things (going out in Dortmund, BBQ in March,
sports)

Team A
Team B

Time to start with the internship
Pre-master
• 6 i.s.o. 3 months
• 30 i.s.o. 15 ECTS
• Report and presentation i.s.o.just a report
• Broader assignment
• More depth is expected from the UT.

Pre master:
Company: Scandinavian Micro Biodevices (SMB), Farum,
Denmark
Products: Plastic strips containing ‘micro fluidic systems’
(Comparable with test strips for
diabetes patients)

Pre master:
Technology: Ultrasonic welding
Assignment: The development of design rules for ‘energy
directors’ used in the assembly of
polystyrene parts by means of ultrasonic
welding.

Ultrasonic welding:
“…joining method which uses
the principles of acoustics to
create frictional heat and
produce a molecular bond
between two plastic
materials…“

Energy directors:
”V-shaped protrusions which direct the ultrasonic vibrations
to initiate welding at a specific line”
•Top angle
•Height

Bad weld Good weld

Eventually a test piece was designed and produced

Result
• Assignment shifted to gain a better understanding of the
behaviour of energy directors when ultrasonically welded.
• Interaction between machine and welding parameters was
investigated
• Submitting design recommendations for energy directors to the
design team at SMB
