15th ICAD in Eindhoven, the Netherlands
May 31st to June 2nd, the 15th ICAD was held in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The first day, traditionally reserved for the tutorials, started with a visit to the ‘ASML Experience’; the company that nobody knows but everybody needs. We had an insight how semiconductors were produced and the tremendous difficulties and investments that it requires. […]

Axiomatic Design Research Foundation
International Conference on Axiomatic Design
Axiomatic Design is a powerful product design methodology. It was developed by Professor Nam P. Suh at the MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, by the end of the 1970s. Axiomatic Design can be applied to the design of products, processes, projects, systems and it is a systems engineering (engineering design) methodology that uses matrix methods to systematically analyse the translation of customer needs into functional requirements, design parameters, and process variables. It has been called one of the most important engineering developments of the last hundred years. The two axioms of Axiomatic Design are: maximize the independence of the functional requirements and minimize the information, or complexity. These are clear, simple rules that guide the design process to the best possible solution for the desired functions.
The Axiomatic Design Research Foundation is established to to spread the ideas behind Axiomatic Design.
Teaching Young and Promising Product Designers
By providing education on AD for novice product designers by giving new product designers guidelines for improving their designs.
Sharing Means for AD Knowledge Transfer for Teaching Staff
Sharing means for teaching AD on all levels.
Sharing good practices between designers
Sharing good practices between more experienced product designers to enable analysis of more complex problems.
Enabling and Expanding Scientific Research
Involving scientists to execute research on AD and bringing it to a next level.
