Open Inspiration about crowdsourcing at Scion DTU on August 29th



Have you ever had a technical or a product development challenge where you would like to have had several solutions to choose from? What if the solutions were innovative and opened up opportunities you had not even thought of? Crowdsourcing gives you all this and more!
Scion DTU has invited Thomas J. Howard from DTU Mechanical Engineering to talk about Open Source Design and its benefits to high-tech companies. Steven Drew, Business Development Director for Scandinavia from InnoCentive will talk about how they manage the power of the crowd and thereby provide innovative solutions fast and finally, Allan Berg from Axcon will talk about how they turn crowd sourced components into crowd developed products.

Programme
14:30-15:00 Registration
15.00-15.30 Open Source Design
Thomas J. Howard, Associate Professor at DTU
15.30-16.00 Crowdsourcing exemplified
Steven Drew, Business Development Director
for Scandinavia at InnoCentive
16.00-16.20 Getting products out of the crowd
Allan Berg, Sales Director at Axcon

Prototypes, product development and 3D printing

Open Inspiration at Scion DTU June 12th

The role of prototypes in product development


by John Lynch, Copenhagen Institute of Interactive Design (CIID)

The traditional design approach is; when you know enough you prototype

The CIID approach is; you prototype to find out what you don’t already know. Hence you don’t just use your prototypes to validate, you use them to inspire new concepts! And you do that best by leaving gaps, questions and unresolved problems  in your prototypes. That leaves the model open for inspiration, reflection and co-creation. To do that you have to consider the fidelity of your prototype. Low fidelity inspires ideas, high fidelity lets you validate a strong concept.

3D printing lets us play around with this. 3D prints help us address the fourth dimension that is the subtlety of experience early on!





Prototype case: The HipKey

HiPPih build several prototypes including 3D-print models to develop their design of the HipKey for Apple.

Davinci show cased some of the 3D print-opportunities they offer:
