The 35th Design for X Symposium (DFX 2024)
DfX offers young scientists from the field of product development a platform for presenting new ideas and approaches to their research. (Registration is now OPEN)
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:
In order to preserve our planet and protect the climate, resources must be conserved. Circular product development in particular can help to conserve resources by removing components from used devices and reusing them in the development and manufacture of new product generations. Reverse engineering fulfils a central task here by digitally mapping used components and enabling their integration into new products. This article presents an approach for an automated reverse engineering process based on image recordings and convolutional neural networks, which should be able to recognize defects in components. This approach is based on previous work in reverse engineering. The steps of the proposed process chain are demonstrated and its usability evaluated on the basis of an initial test run.
