Innovation in Product Design gives an overview of the research fields and achievements in the development of methods and tools for product design and innovation.  It presents contributions from experts in many different fields covering a variety of research topics related to product development and innovation. Product lifecycle management, knowledge management, product customization, topological optimization, product virtualization, systematic innovation, virtual humans, design and engineering, and rapid prototyping are the key research areas described in the book. It also details successful case studies developed with industrial companies.

Innovation in Product Design is written for academic researchers, graduate students and professionals in product development disciplines who are interested in understanding how novel methodologies and technologies can make the product development process more efficient.

This book gathers original papers reporting on innovative methods and tools in design, modelling, simulation and optimization, and their applications in engineering design, manufacturing and other relevant industrial sectors. Topics span from advances in geometric modelling, applications of virtual reality, innovative strategies for product development and additive manufacturing, human factors and user-centered design, engineering design education and applications of engineering design methods in medical rehabilitation and cultural heritage. Chapters are based on contributions to the Second International Conference on Design Tools and Methods in Industrial Engineering, ADM 2021, held on September 9–10, 2021, in Rome, Italy, and organized by the Italian Association of Design Methods and Tools for Industrial Engineering, and Dipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica e Aerospaziale of Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy. All in all, this book provides academics and professionals with a timely overview and extensive information on trends and technologies in industrial design and manufacturing. 

This book contains the papers presented at the International Joint Conference on Mechanics, Design Engineering & Advanced Manufacturing, JCM 2024, held on 12-14 June in Valencia, Spain. It reports on cutting-edge topics in product design and manufacturing, such as industrial methods for integrated product and process design; innovative design; and computer-aided design. Further topics covered include virtual simulation and reverse engineering; additive manufacturing; product manufacturing; engineering methods in medicine and education; representation techniques; and nautical, engineering and construction, aeronautics and aerospace design and modeling. The book is divided into six main sections, reflecting the focus and primary themes of the conference. The contributions presented in this book will not only provide researchers, engineers and experts in a range of industrial engineering subfields with extensive information to support their daily work; but also stimulate new research directions, advanced applications of the methods discussed, and future interdisciplinary collaborations.
