Die Möglichkeit zur digitalen Verbindung geographischer Orte mit Aufgaben, Herausforderungen oder Lernmaterialien hat eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen auch außerhalb der Mathematikbildung inspiriert. Dieser Beitrag stellt eine exemplarische Auswahl solcher Applikationen vor und versucht, die technischen, organisatorischen und konzeptionellen Gestaltungselemente zu systematisieren. Die Ausführungen sollen als Anregung bei der Anlage von Mathematiktrails sowie bei der Weiterentwicklung technischer Lösungen für den Lehreinsatz dienen.
This paper describes the concept and some results of the project "Menschen Lernen Maschinelles Lernen" (Humans Learn Machine Learning, ML2) of the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg. It brings together students of different courses of study and practitioners from companies on the subject of Machine Learning. A mixture of blended learning and practical projects ensures a tight coupling of machine learning theory and application. The paper details the phases of ML2 and mentions two successful example projects.
Medical devices accompany our everyday life and come across in situations of worse condition, in significant moments concerning the health or during routine checkups. To ensure flawless operations and error-free results it is essential to test applications and devices. High risks for patient’s health come with operating errors [33] so that the presented research project, called Professional UX, identifies signals and irritations caused by the interaction with a certain device by analyzing mimic, voice and eye tracking data during user experience tests. Besides, this paper will provide information on typical errors of interactive applications which are based on an empirical lab-based survey and the evaluated results achieved. The pictured proceeding of user experience tests and the following analysis can also be applied to other fields and serves as a support for the optimization of products and systems.
A novel Bluetooth Low Energy advertising scan algorithm is presented for hybrid radios that are additionally capable to measure energy on Bluetooth channels, e.g. as they would need to be compliant with IEEE 802.15.4. Scanners applying this algorithm can achieve a low latency whilst consuming only a fraction of the power that existing mechanisms can achieve at a similar latency. Furthermore, the power consumption can scale with the incoming network traffic and in contrast to the existing mechanisms, scanners can operate without any frame loss given ideal network conditions. The algorithm does not require any changes to advertisers, hence, stays compatible with existing devices. Performance evaluated via simulation and experiments on real hardware shows a 37 percent lower power consumption compared to the best existing scan setting while even achieving a slightly lower latency which proves that this algorithm can be used to improve the quality of service of connection-less Bluetooth communication or reduce the connection establishment time of connection-oriented communication.
The ability to change aerodynamic parameters of airfoils during flying can potentially save energy as well as reducing the noise made by the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) because of sharp edges of the airfoil and its rudders. In this paper, an approach for the design of an adaptive wing using a multi-material 3D printer is shown. In multi-material 3D printing, up to six different materials can be combined in one component. Thus, the user can determine the mixture and the spatial arrangement of this “digital material” in advance in the pre-processing software. First, the theoretical benefits of adaptive wings are shown, and already existing adaptive wings and concepts are explicated within a literature review. Then the additive manufacturing process using photopolymer jetting and its capabilities to print multiple materials in one part are demonstrated. Within the scope of a case study, an adaptive wing is developed and the necessary steps for the product development and their implementation in CAD are presented. This contribution covers the requirements for different components and sections of an adaptive wing designed for additive manufacturing using multiple materials as well as the single steps of development with its different approaches until the final design of the adaptive wing. The developed wing section is simulated, and qualitative tests in a wind tunnel are carried out with the wing segment. Finally, the additively manufactured wing segment is evaluated under technical and economic aspects.
The fast and cost-effective manufacturing of tools for thermoforming is an essential requirement to shorten the development time of products. Thus, additive processes are used increasingly in tooling for thermoforming of plastic sheets. However, a disadvantage of many additive methods is that they are highly cost-intensive, since complex systems based on laser technology and expensive metal powders are needed. Therefore, this paper examines how to work with favorable additive methods, e.g. Binder Jetting, to manufacture tools, which provide sufficient strength for thermoforming. The use of comparatively low-priced inkjet technology for the layer construction and a polymer plaster as material can be expected to result in significant cost reductions. Based on a case study using a cowling (engine bonnet) for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the development of a complex tool for thermoforming is demonstrated. The object in this study is to produce a tool for a complex-shaped component in small numbers and high quality in a short time and at reasonable costs. Within the tooling process, integrated vacuum channels are implemented in additive tooling without the need for additional post-processing (for example, drilling). In addition, special technical challenges, such as the demolding of undercuts or the parting of the tool are explained. All process steps from tool design to the use of the additively manufactured tool are analyzed. Based on the manufacturing of a small series of cowlings for a UAV made of plastic sheets (ABS), it is shown, that the Binder Jetting offers sufficient mechanical and thermal strength for additive tooling. In addition, an economic evaluation of the tool manufacturing and a detailed consideration of the required manufacturing times for the different process steps are carried out. Finally, a comparison is made with conventional and alternative additive methods of tooling.
Direct Digital Manufacturing of Architectural Models using Binder Jetting and Polyjet Modeling
(2019)
Today, architectural models are an important tool for illustrating drawn-on plansor computer-generated virtual models and making them understandable. Inaddition to the conventional methods for the manufacturing of physical models, awide range of processes for Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) has spreadrapidly in recent years. In order to facilitate the application of these new methodsfor architects, this contribution examines which technical and economic resultsare possible using 3D printed architectural models. Within a case study, it will beshown on the basis of a multi-storey detached house, which kind of datapreparation is necessary. The DDM of architectural models will be demonstratedusing two widespread techniques and the resulting costs will be compared.
Besides of conventional CAD systems, new, cloud-based CAD systems have also been available for some years. These CAD systems designed according to the principle of software as a service (SaaS) differ in some important features from the conventional CAD systems. Thus, these CAD systems are operated via a browser and it is not necessary to install the software on a computer. The CAD-data is stored in the cloud and not on a local computer or central server. This new approach should also facilitate the sharing and management of data. Finally, many of these new CAD systems are available as freeware for education purposes, so the universities can save license costs. This contribution examines newly developed, cloud-based CAD systems. In the context of a case study, the application of these new CAD systems are investigated in the training of engineers in design education. Thus, the students compare a conventional and a cloud-based CAD system as part of an exercise of designing and 3D modelling of a pinion shaft. Subsequently, the students manufacture a drawing with different views of the pinion shaft. This assessment evaluates different criteria such as user-friendliness, tutorial support and installation effort.
The development of new processes and materials for additive manufacturing is currently progressing rapidly. In order to use the advantages of additive manufacturing, however, product development and design must also be adapted to these new processes. Therefore it is suitable to use structural optimization. To achieve the best results in lightweight design, it is important to have an approach that reduces the volume in the unloaded regions and considers the restrictions and characteristics of the additive manufacturing process. In this contribution, a case study using a humanoid robot is presented. Thus, the pelvis module of a humanoid robot is optimized regarding its weight and stiffness. Furthermore, an integrated design is implemented in order to reduce the number of parts and the screw connections. The manufacturing uses a new aluminum-based material that has been specially developed for use in additive manufacturing and lightweight construction. For the additive manufacturing by means of the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process, different restrictions and the assembly concepts of the humanoid robot have to be taken into account. These restrictions have to be considered in the setting of the individual parameters and target functions of the structural optimization. As a result, a framework is presented that shows the steps of the redesign and the optimization of the pelvis module. In order to achieve high accuracy with the product, the redesign of the pelvis module is demonstrated with regard to mechanical and thermal postprocessing. Finally, the redesigned part and the different assembly concepts are compared to analyze the economic and technical effects of the optimization.
