NordDesign 2020
The NordDesign conferences serve as a Nordic complement to the larger international conferences in design and product development, but we also wish to welcome participants from all other countries.
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:
On the last decades, the space industry has been interested in implementing metal additive manufacturing. However, the transition from traditional to additive manufacturing technologies requires designers to consider new design and manufacturing constraints. A limitation for the implementation of additive manufacturing is the need for support structures which increase material consumption and post processing time. In this article, a software was created to automatically modify product geometry to reduce the need for support structures.
