Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
A fast and efficient solution for the evaluation of mechatronic systems in early development stages provides Smart Hybrid Prototyping (SHP). It represents an intermediate stage between the digital and the physical prototype. In particular, it allows multimodal experiencing of mechatronic systems, the human is better involved in evaluating the overall system. To demonstrate the concept of the Smart Hybrid Prototyping approach and to evaluate the technological feasibility an example from the automotive industry was chosen: the development of car tailgates.
