Virtual International Conference on
Product Design, Development, and Deployment

(PD3 - 2021)

11th & 12th SEPTEMBER 2021

Organised by
School of Mechanical Engineering

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVE

The event gives a platform for knowledge dissemination and understanding in-recent advancement in engineering, technology, and management towards design, development, and deployment of a product. The knowledge of design, manufacturing and processing of material, as well as the simulation helps in product realization. Product Design always cater to design and material selection then the Product Development is done by employing suitable processing and manufacturing. The logistics as well as other management and marketing techniques helps in the deployment of the product in the market. One of the most important responsibility of researchers and academicians is to be innovative and develop new products useful to the society. This event is structured in a way that the recent research outcome is discussed and it is aimed at bringing experts from research, academia, and industry in a single platform for the benefits of participants. Further, it is also aimed at faculty members, research engineers/scientists, full-time and part-time research scholars, who are actively involved in the research. The sessions are organized in such a way that participants of the conference will get a better insight into the recent proceedings in the area of "Product Design, Development& Deployment".
