Abstract Computer Aided Engineering Design (CAED) supports the engineering design
process during the detail design, but it is not commonly used in the conceptual design stage …

This paper presents a new algorithm for extracting Free-Form Surface Features (FFSFs) from
a surface model. The extraction algorithm is based on a modified taxonomy of FFSFs from …

T hrough the combination of innovative and emerging design and manufacturing
technologies, a new bespoke industrial design methodology is emerging whereby there will …

This thesis presents an enquiry into the nature and role of prototyping within human-centred
design practice, examining the capabilities and limitations of emerging prototyping …

Haptics research has become a significant issue in industrial design recently by offering a
revolutionary approach for combining physical and digital modelling. Despite the progress …

Conventional computer aided design (CAD) systems have not provided enough support for
conceptual design partly due to the lack of natural and intuitive human–computer interaction …

The work presented in this paper is taken from a research project that investigates modelling
and design with particular reference to industrial design and the use of different media and …

As digital design technologies become ever more widespread, CAD-CAM, virtual and rapid
prototyping techniques are increasingly being exploited by creative practitioners working in …
