Design for Sustainable Production provides you with a theoretical and applied exposure to how industrial designers work within the technical parameters of engineering a product for sustainable production and use. You will explore various paradigms and concerns of design for manufacture with an emphasis on design strategies for ensuring eco-effectiveness and capacity for manufactured goods to operate within a circular economy. This includes eco-design strategies for mass-manufacturing; lean and distributed manufacturing; disassembly and re-manufacture; durability for reuse; advanced and additive manufacturing; mass-customization; and, the social, economic and environmental dimensions of manufacturing. You will learn technical and analytical strategies for determining courses of design action in relation to these complex considerations within the design process.
