Dyson to talk at TCT 2002 conference
A
TCT Conference and Exhibition product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
May 20, 2002
Any company looking to reduce its costs or lead times at any stage of the design and manufacturing process has to consider the potential benefits to be gained from attending the TCT 2002 conference.
Dyson has a reputation for innovation and creativity in design through its market leading range of vacuum cleaners.
The original DualCyclone evolved over 5000 physical prototypes.
The company's move into the laundry market with the Contrarotator washing machine, and the compression of product timescales throughout the home appliance industry, has meant that this sort of development programme is no longer feasible.
Dyson had to introduce finite element analysis as part of the design process but was concerned that the traditional "stress office" model could be too inflexible and stifle the creative freedom and ability to develop ideas, which has been the very essence of Dyson's success.
At the TCT 2002 conference in October, Dyson will relate the problems faced and the solutions adopted to more than 500 of Europe's top product designers and manufacturing engineers.
This paper is just one of the many quality presentations that will be made during the two-day conference, illustrating how leading companies have adopted TCTs to stay ahead in their field.
There will also be presentations from leading global research institutions highlighting the cutting edge of TCTs, and the latest developments in the industry.
Any company that is looking to reduce its costs or lead times at any stage of the design and manufacturing process has to consider the potential benefits to be gained from attending the TCT 2002 conference and exhibition.
The event - encompassing masterclasses, conference and exhibition - covers a full range of topics from front-end design right through to production and manufacture.
TCT 2002 returns to the MICC in Manchester and opens its doors on the 16th and 17th October 2002 to Europe's premier product development professionals.
The popular RP masterclasses are considered the most cost-effective way of getting new team members up to speed on the basics of rapid prototyping processes and applications.
No previous experience is necessary as two of the best-respected industry professionals: Graham Tromans of Land Rover, (President of the Stereolithography Users Association; Chairman of the RPMA and a member of the RAPTIA project); and Joel Segal (formerly PERA and Rover Group) from the University of Nottingham, will lead delegates through the pros and cons of the Rapid Prototyping processes currently available and their application suitability.
The comprehensive exhibition offers attendees a networking opportunity and a wide range of new solutions and processes demonstrated on-site; including TCT software, reverse engineering, desktop verification/analysis, rapid prototyping/casting, rapid tooling and materials.
