Pre-structuring Product Development Challenges in the Context of Advanced Biomanufacturing

With an increasing emphasis on research and design at the intersection of biological and cyber-physical systems, collaboration among disciplines is intensifying. Yet, there remains a lack of the integrated use of knowledge, methods, and approaches. This preliminary study examines challenges in product development within advanced biomanufacturing. The study addresses epistemological and methodological differences between sub-fields by compiling the literature’s paradigms, obstacles, and design method requirements. The result is a pre-structure of design challenges, providing a basis for developing modular method fragments in the future.
