National Aviation Engineering Research Programme Project: NFFP490 – Functional Jet Engine Components 2003-2007 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY When selling a product today it contains much more than just hardware. Without a service part the product would be of no value for the customer. To be able to evaluate and choose the best concept the overall package need to be reconsidered. The...

VINNOVA programme “Effective Product Development” 2002-2005 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY The conceptual design phase is the perhaps most important phase, determining most functions and cost of the forthcoming product. Knowing that the concepts to a large extend also sets the manufacturing conditions; it is critical to take manufacturing process information into account in earliest possible stages. This project aims at providing...
