CDFAM

Computational Design Symposium Series

CDFAM Computational Design (+DfAM) Symposium Series brings together leaders in the fields of design, engineering and advanced manufacturing to explore emerging technologies, approaches to computational, generative and simulation driven design along with engineering for advanced manufacturing.

CDFAM provides a unique opportunity to learn about cutting-edge technologies and techniques and to network with leading academics and professionals in the field.

In 2024 the agenda for CDFAM is structured to cover the interdisciplinary nature of computational design. The event is organized around two foundational frameworks: ‘Scales of Design’ and ‘Dimensions of Execution.’

Scales of Design:

Micro: Focus on material-level design considerations
Meso: Exploration of metamaterials and structures
Macro: Discussion on topology optimization, surface and parts
Mega: Exploration of large-scale and system design methodologies

Dimensions of Execution:

Academic: Cutting-edge research in design science
Algorithm: Software tools and algorithms enabling advanced design
Application: Real-world engineering challenges addressed and explained
Automation: Scaling design to production for volume and/or diversity

Through these frameworks, attendees will gain insights into how computational design principles and methodologies traverse across different scales and various execution contexts.
