Poppy Farrugia, Dominic Eggbeer and Tom Wheeler // NotBrokenCreating an exoskeleton arm brace for paralysed mountain bikers Synopsis:
When Tom Wheeler crashed and paralysed his right arm doing the sport he loved, mountain biking, quitting wasn’t an option. However, he soon found that there weren’t any products that would allow him to continue. Determined to keep riding, he set about developing a custom carbon fibre exoskeleton-style arm brace that provided a functional interface between him and the bike. This proved the concept, but he realised that if the solution was going to be made available to others in a similar situation, more affordable and repeatable design-manufacturing processes were required. CAD and 3D printing were an obvious choice. These technologies offer new ways of meeting the functional and aspirational needs of users who do not want to settle for an off-the-shelf product; athletes want to push the limits of product performance and embrace designs that are distinctive, not clinical.
Tom contacted Dominic Eggbeer and Poppy Farrugia to conceptualise how computer-aided design could be combined with 3D printing to reinvent the arm brace concept. Poppy took on the arm brace project as part of her Masters degree. The presentation will illustrate the development of a prototype arm brace, which has potential to be used by a range of sports enthusiasts who are keen to stay competitive following upper-limb paralysis.
Andrew Redman // Headkayse

Sebastian Andraos // HAL RoboticsPioneering Construction Robotics Synopsis:
Through the prevalence of new tools and techniques, the opportunity exists today for inumerable fields to evolve. Increasing access to robotics represents the next phase of the intersection between design and construction, an undoubtedly fertile space where many architects and designers have the distinct opportunity to take more control over not only their work but the methods and processes with which it is made. The exercising of this control is seen to facilitate a fuller understanding of design processes and the decisions that help drive these processes from both ends; how construction works backwards to affect design and how design moves forwards to affect construction.
In-situ applications of robotics – whether applied to fully automated construction scenarios, or on the contrary envisioned as intelligent, service-oriented, distributed manufacturing systems – have remained an ongoing research topic since the early 1980s. Beyond the various sociological and economic challenges surrounding the application of such innovative processes, major technical issues are still to be addressed in order to ensure the compatibility of past and future research results with the requirements of the construction industry.
HAL Robotics develop an accessible vendor-agnostic software solution for simulation, programming and real-time control of robots and peripheral devices. These real-time interactions, sensor integration and machine interconnectivity are critical for adaptability, safety and autonomy in robotics, lending their solution to both traditional off-site manufacturing and robots in changing environments i.e. on-site.
LUNCH 12.30 to 2.00 PM
Solomon Rogers // Rewind
VR’s influence on the fundamentals of design
Synopsis:
VR is not all about gaming and entertainment. In fact, it’s arguable that commercial, rather than home use will take VR mainstream. The property market in particular has a great deal to gain from this new immersive technology. One of the biggest impacts that VR is going to have on the property market comes at the foundation of the industry; VR will allow architects and builders to literally walk through their plans before they even start the project, bringing a level of testing into the process that wasn’t possible before without huge costs. It will also allow designers to experiment with different finishes, decors and even furniture placements. In his talk, Sol will explore the possibilities of this new medium with some working examples:
True-VR Property Tours: Working with the global estate agent Savills, REWIND used cutting edge 3D scanning technology to capture high resolution point cloud data from inside a £17 million mansion. Clients from around the world could then ‘walk’ around the entire property without leaving the comfort of their homes.
From BIM to VR: Autodesk Stingray Launch Demo: Using this new technology allows architects and engineers to explore their designs at true human scale. Simple things such as decor and furniture, or complex engineering problems for heat transfer or structural integrity can be displayed and interacted with in real time.

Laurence Marks // SSAHow Additive Manufacture is driving Design by Simulation Synopsis:
If you take an engineers view of additive manufacturing it looks something like a revolution has happened. 3D printing is about models of rabbits, Yoda and prototypes of industrial designs which look like pebbles, whatever it is they do. It’s not about manufacturing actual stuff that does things. Right? Increasingly wrong actually. Whilst it seems unlikely that AM will displace more traditional production methods entirely in the next few years there are many specialist, low volume applications where the freedom it offers really does revolutionise what can be created. This disruption has forced a step change in how CAE is used and applied. And about time. So the CAE response to the disruption that is additive manufacturing seems to have 3 distinct aspects: Not surprisingly these are design, manufacturing and material definition. · The ability to create forms and shapes previously impossible to manufacture frees many of the constraints on shape optimisation. So you really can explore the creativity of topology optimisation; but in fact you have to learn how to lead it in the right direction – these things don’t just happen. · Production process simulation has been gaining ground in recent years, but that’s with processes that we’ve got literally thousands of years of experience of. Casting, stamping and forging are all technologies that are simulated, and generally reasonably well understood. But with AM we must use simulation to drive our understanding of what you can make and how – we haven’t got 1000’s of years to try things out this time. · And then finally there’s the science of understanding what you actually made. Production processes influences the behavior of the finished component; AM is no different and the world of multiscale modeling is beginning to provide a way of predicting the performance, strength and durability of AM parts. With previous manufacturing technologies the world of CAE has had the luxury of applying itself to a mature process and going from there. AM appears to be a truly disruptive technology; one which is driving the development of CAE technologies and their application.

Additive manufacturing offers much promise. In this presentation Clive will offer insight into the applications that work; how to identify them and assess what tools are needed to turn AM parts into solutions that offer perpetual added value.
Andre Wegner // AuthentiseUsing Software to Increase Yield and Reduce Preparation Time in Additive Manufacturing Synopsis:
As Additive Manufacturing increasingly moves from Lab to Production scale, the infrastructure requirements change. GE is investing in 100’s of machines that run simultaneously, Nike does 1000’s of prints a month. To manage these operations the same way we did before – manually inspecting and editing every file, setting up, monitoring and improving every print – is untenable. Instead we can rely on increasingly sophisticated software automation to drive these processes, saving time and money as well as increasingly reliability and safety. In no other manufacturing sector is the opportunity so apparent since additive manufacturing has a more complete digital thread than any other part of the shop floor.
LUNCH 1.00 to 2.00 PM
Neil Cooke // Onshape3 Ways cloud can help your team work better Synopsis:

David Heiny // SimScaleWhat does it take to make simulation a standard tool in every engineers’ software stack? Synopsis:
Both 3D CAD and simulation technology (CAE) have been around for decades. However, while 3D CAD has already become a standard tool for the modern designer or engineer, 3D CAE still remains mainly reserved for specialists. Despite the unquestionable advantages that simulation technology can bring to product design and engineering, it is still not leveraged in the majority of today’s product development processes. David will talk about the vision behind SimScale and about their mission of making simulation more accessible to everyone by bringing functionality, content, and people together with the common objective to build better products faster and more cost-efficiently.
Adam Jull // IMSCADVirtualisation or Centralisation – What would really work for you? Synopsis:
