Research in Interactive Design
presents an in-depth study of new product design and
manufacturing methods which aim is to support decision-making during design process.
They have recently emerged from transversal researches providing advanced simulation
techniques to allow human to feel, to interact and to act on virtual high-realistic environments
for improving engineering. Interactive design instruments are seen as the extension
of traditional CAD tools.
This book provides an accurate overview of the recent research or industrial application
about interactive design and manufacturing methods. The different arguments are taken
from the international conference Virtual Concept 2005. The reader will find some advanced
solutions concerning :
- modelling techniques,
- design solution space exploration,
- virtual environments and prototypes implementation and use,
- interactive process organization.
The solutions presented are enhanced by demonstrations of real industrial problem-solving.
The different chapters strongly highlight novel solutions for supporting decision-making in
a huge field of engineering: product design, manufacturing and assembly, training and risk
prevention, Robotics, design for customers, mechanical
engineering, etc.
The book includes a CD-ROM providing full texts. In this
book, whether a researcher or an industrialist will discover
the most recent interactive design techniques and is sure
to extract some significant concepts.
