Quality control tends to be too subjective, however, as it is usually entrusted to human inspectors. Optical systems are showing qreat a promise with theis high resolution, but the relevance, geometrical correctness and correlation with […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/18467/curvature-the-relevant-criterion-for-class-a-surface-quality/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/9819/sketch-based-computer-aided-design-tool-for-configuration-design-of-automobile-instrument-panel/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/9819/sketch-based-computer-aided-design-tool-for-configuration-design-of-automobile-instrument-panel/#respond Mon, 22 Nov 2010 23:22:07 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/?post_type=pub&p=9819 This paper presents two geometric operations–constrained curve beautification and polygonal mesh scissoring–for a sketch-based Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tool for the configuration design of automobile instrument panels. Using the proposed sketch- based CAD, industrial designers and mechanical engineers can work together closely to perform the early-stage configuration design efficiently by drawing candidate sub- panel boundaries on […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/9819/sketch-based-computer-aided-design-tool-for-configuration-design-of-automobile-instrument-panel/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4964/review-sketchbook-pro-ipad/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4964/review-sketchbook-pro-ipad/#respond Fri, 14 May 2010 11:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/review-sketchbook-pro-ipad/ When the Apple iPad was announced back in January, it seemed like a natural fit as a drawing tablet. While we knew that it may not have the fidelity of a Cintiq, we also knew that it wasn’t meant to be used the same way. Now that the tablet is out and the flood of […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4964/review-sketchbook-pro-ipad/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4958/advanced-3d-cad-design-methods-in-education-and-research/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4958/advanced-3d-cad-design-methods-in-education-and-research/#respond Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/advanced-3d-cad-design-methods-in-education-and-research/ The integration of advanced virtual engineering methods into 3D-CAD based development processes leads to increased requirements, concerning the software packages as well as regarding the applied procedures and strategies. Modern IT- based engineering tools offer much more than the conventional development methodologies in component creation and digital mock-up processes. The trend definitely goes into the […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4958/advanced-3d-cad-design-methods-in-education-and-research/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4941/andrew-meehan-on-the-new-autodesk-sketchbook-mobile-app/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4941/andrew-meehan-on-the-new-autodesk-sketchbook-mobile-app/#respond Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/andrew-meehan-on-the-new-autodesk-sketchbook-mobile-app/ SketchBook Mobile shares the same core technology as SketchBook Pro, resulting in an app that truly delivers professional-grade sketch capabilities and quality to a mobile device.
