3D printed electronics introduces new opportunities in product design. On the other side, it also brings challenges regarding many aspects in the design and manufacturing process of prototypes/products. In this paper, based on our preliminary investigations, we summarize the opportunities of using 3D printed electronics in product design as: 1) it offers designers more freedom in their designs; 2) it promotes miniaturization of design; 3) it accelerates the design and manufacturing process; 4) it is able to improve the efficiency of producing customized/personalized mechatronic/electronic products and 5) it improves the sustainability in the product design and manufacturing process. Motivated by those opportunities, we conducted four case studies regarding four key aspects of 3D printed electronics: the conductive materials, geometric modelling, multiphysics simulation and manufacturing tools. Based on the findings in those case studies, we identified the challenges in 3D printed electronics and highlight the future works which may provide a better support to the needs of product designers.

Abstract Selection of an appropriate sterilization modality requires an understanding of certain key aspects of the product under consideration. Primary aspects to be considered include understanding of the product's intended use and details of the product design. This article reviews these primary considerations for sterilization modality selection and demonstrates the sterilization modality selection process through several example case studies.

The process of the product design consists in a plan for the product, its components and subassemblies. To obtain the physical entity building a manufacturing plan is needed. The activity of developing such a manufacturing plan is name process planning. Process planning is the relation between design and manufacturing. Process planning consists in defining the sequence of the steps that should be taken to make the product. Process planning is referring to the engineering and technological issues of how to make it.

Textile is the key component of every human life from birth to last rights. In the recent decade, textile sectors have shown tremendous growth through improved technology from raw materials to product design and manufacturing process. These extraordinary developments provide a path to find an innovative solution to the medical sector especially in the field of therapeutic textiles. This project is a small initiative to confer a solution for particular workforce such as truck drivers who are suffering from hemorrhoids disease. The main aim was to find an innovative therapeutic textile solution for this ailment based on ancient method of herbal treatment.
