Ignite Possibility

We believe that good design changes lives for the better. When developing the Quick-32r EEG headset with CGX, we created a design foundation on which we prioritized a simple operating scenario for the clinician and a gentle wearing experience for the patient. Using additive manufacturing for both prototyping and production made it possible to reduce part count and shorten the design cycle. The Quick-32r is used to increase understanding of diseases like PTSD and Epilepsy. How can we help you design meaningful change? Join us.

The Additive Mindset, Part 2: Combined Parts
The Additive Mindset, Part 2: Combined Parts

Previously, we wrote about designing for additive manufacturing, and how it requires a change of mindset to be most effective.

In this post we are exploring a major advantage of designing for additive that illustrates how a flexible mindset can have huge benefits for design and production. That advantage is the non-assembled part.

The Additive Mindset

What is it like to design and manufacture a product completely using additive manufacturing (3D printing)?

For the product to be successful, your design and engineering team needs to know HOW to design for additive manufacturing. This does not only mean they must be familiar with the different constraints of each additive process, although that is important.

Truly taking advantage of additive manufacturing requires a change of mindset.

Utilizing Digital Twins

Do you have complex human factors issues to solve for a product? Is your product development team using digital twins? A digital twin is a virtual model of a something that exists in the real world, be it a physical product or service. When linked directly to its real world counterpart, often via data-gathering sensors, a digital twin can diagnose problems, guide a user through a procedure, and even gather data that can lead to new solutions. An example
