Project Y: Siemens Additive Manufacturing

Siemens has partnered with UCI to teach senior-level MAE students how to use their NX suite software with an emphasis on additive manufacturing over the next two quarters: winter and spring 2021. The current team will attend workshops hosted by Siemens engineers to get familiarized with the NX suite and the concept of Digital Twins, which will serve as a guiding tool to learn how additive manufacturing is evolving in industry due to the digitalization of engineering design projects in different sectors. During this time, the team will also design an additively manufactured component to control the elevator of a plane. 

Goals & Objectives:

  • Apply the engineering process to design a component that provides sufficient control of the elevator
  • Learn the concept of digital twin to digitize a real life problem in order to analyze and find an efficient virtual solution before the manufacturing step
  • Use the NX Suite to complete all phases of the design including modeling, physical simulation, topology optimization, and virtual production
  • Fully prepare the model given for the project to be additively manufactured
