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.

Abstract:
The development of machine tools integrating multiple production technologies is challenging. To minimize the effort for implementation, a systematic conceptual design for hybrid machine tools is initiated already in early phases of product development. Reference product architectures are addressed. The main emphasis is on technology and system integration. A technological similarity assessment forms the basis to assure potential for synergies. The reference architecture introduced is validated by a Multi-Technology-Platform combining a milling spindle and two laser processing units.
