Computer Aided Concept Design for Vehicle Stylists
Abstract/Summary
It is commonly accepted in the manufacturing industries that the earlier concurrent design and engineering are able to occur the greater the reduction in both design lead time and the cost of the design product cycle is reduced. A basic requirement of concurrent design and engineering is a simple 3 dimensional (3D) computer model.
This piece of research was concerned with the production of 3D models from the traditionally 2D concept design stage of the design cycle with a focus on vehicle styling/design.
