Interviews Concerning Innovations. Prosthesis. Robust Design:
“It Is Really Exciting“ Doctor Tanja Clees; Computer simulations
are indispensable in many industry sectors. The advantage is
obvious: Before a part goes into production, it can already be
thoroughly “put through its paces”. Defects are noticed much
faster and production can be adapted at any time. Robust Design
is headed for medical technology: MEDICA.de talked to Doctor
Tanja Clees from the Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and
Scientific Computing about the emerging field of Robust Design
and what methods from the automotive industry could be
interesting for medical technology. MEDICA.de: Doctor Clees,
what exactly is Robust Design? Clees: It is a relatively new
field and includes very different areas and functions. The aim
of Robust Design is to design production processes and products
with robustness. Robust is not meant in the sense of something
for instance falling on the ground and
