Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, Berlin, 2024

Presenter: Alexander Pluke

Organization: Additive Flow

Alexander Pluke is CEO and founder of Additive Flow, a Nano Dimension Division. The company builds software for the simultaneous optimisation of the entire AM workflow, which has worked with companies including Saint-Gobain, Royal Haskoning, Tata Steel and Zeiss to maximise their AM value.

The CDFAM Computational Design Symposium Series brings together leading experts from design, engineering, architecture, academia and software development for a series of knowledge sharing and networking events focusing on computational design at all scales.

The events are 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 architectural scale 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

* Automation: Scaling design to production for volume and mass customization

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