If you haven’t heard already, the composites engineering show is right around the corner.  The show is for UK-based design/materials/engineering professionals covering the latest composite technologies for the design and manufacturability of consumer and high performance products.

The show is a great place to hear about the latest technologies in product design, along with if and how those techniques should/can be incorporated.  For product managers and designers (mechanical, industrial, and hardware), they can learn about the latest technologies which can spark new product ideas and design techniques.

Here at Icron, since we manufacture industrial type extenders for media or KVM and USB extension, hearing about the newest techniques for product design professionals gives us new design ideas for upcoming products.

Although some product design techniques are pushing the fringe of technology, these new techniques can generate innovative product design ideas. These ideas are then surveyed to end customers for ways to improve product design and add new high valued features. It will be interesting to see what new and innovative designs are released in the market place months following the show.
