SYSTEMATIC FOR FUNCTION-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT OF SPATIAL CIRCUIT CARRIERS AND PROTOTYPES

Innovative technologies like MID (Molded Interconnect Device) are necessary to meet the rising requirements within the development and production of integrated mechatronic devices. Due to their domain-spanning nature and occurring interactions between product and production system, a consistent and systematic use of prototypes within the product development is indispensable. We developed a function-oriented systematic that assists determining the ideal manufacturing process for a prototype at any stage of the product development process taking into account process afflicted solution elements.
