As a design engineer, Simin focuses on product design for additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing. A good design is the ket to success with additive manufacturing. As this specific way of designing parts requires industry adopting a totally new approach, Simon's job is to guide designers through this specific design-and engineering process. He explains the capabilities, limitations and principles of additive technologies. He also evaluates and selects appropriate technologies for specific design/manufacturing applications.
Simon is currently involved in the project 'Functional Design for Additive Manufacturing", with as its main goal to close the gap between the potential of additive manufacturing and its current application in functional parts in the Belgian industry.
Simon holds a Bachelor's degree in industrial product design and started his carreer with Sirris in 2013. Inspired by nature, with a clear understanding of the requirements of designing a product and a good knowlegde of the different additive manufacturing processes, he makes an important contribution to the creation of successful parts in Belgian industry.
