Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, Berlin, 2024

Manolis Papastavrou is the co-founder and Computational Design Lead at Metamorphic, a UK based design engineering consultancy that helps organisations innovate with Additive Manufacturing (AM). His presentation will demonstrate how the team at Metamorphic harness computational design to exploit untapped possibilities for AM in a range of technology sectors. This will be illustrated through one of their latest collaborative projects in the field of Quantum Sensing, Project QTEAM (Quantum Technologies Enabled by Additive Manufacturing). QTEAM seeks to revolutionise the design and manufacturing of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) components to enable a new “ultra-portable” phase of quantum technologies for space applications. Manolis will provide insights into Metamorphic’s design-to-manufacturing workflows and how these have been automated through purpose-built computational design scripts. We will delve into the intricacies of their design process, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the innovative solutions they’ve employed in their quest to produce a lightweight and power-efficient quantum space gravimeter prototype.
