Creative Design for Skin and Shape Using Advanced CAD Systems

Abstract:

Design for X (DfX) is a methodology for the definition and implementation of a range of goals which allow the development of an optimal product based on a series of aspects i.e. manufacturing, assembly, reliability, usability, ergonomics. A great amount of research work has been implemented towards improving a product that is designed using different aspects of the design process as a criterion for optimization. The proposed Design for Skin & Shape methodology (DfS&S) is focusing towards the design of creative products and packages, based on a shape and graphic texture that clarifies directly in the customer mind what is the product on the selves. At the same time, it creates a clear optical identity to its mind for the product which is directly associated with the design. An additional advantage of the DfS&S is that it can reduce the product development time since the concept is defined from the beginning of the design cycle. A number of case studies are presented.
