Recent trends in the integration of process, device and circuit modeling tools and the current rapid emergence of UNIX® based computing environments of networked workstations and compute engines makes possible user-friendly, taskbased CAD systems for technology optimization, characterization and cell design. The paper discusses these trends and identifies opportunities to leverage Technology CA...

In this paper, Computer Aided Designing (CAD) in conjunction with Rapid Tooling is applied to design and produce forming tools (punch and die) for stretch-formed jewelry (generated on thin sheet metal on top of which jewelry patterns are raised with forming tools by stretching the sheet metal beyond its elastic limit. The work presents a parametric voxel based CAD paradigm for modeling of such ...

In electronics design, Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools manage part data in a logical schematic view (a part symbol) and a physical PCB view (a part footprint). Yet, a part has a third view, which CAD tools ignore its supply data (Manufacturer part number, variant, distributor, etc). To manage this manufacturing view a broad class of tools known as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) have evolv...

As the number, and diversity, of computer aided design tools used by VLSI circuit designers continues to grow, the need for CAD frameworks increases. While a precise definition of a CAD framework is difficult to give, it is convenient to view a CAD framework as a collection of underlying facilities and services that support activities performed by CAD tool developers, CAD system integrators, an...

This report explains the objectives and motivations of building the local evaluation platform. This platform is described in terms of hardware and software components, with a presentation of the machines, the networks that interconnect them (an ATM and an Ethernet LANs) and the software tools that run on it and which behaviour and performances have to be evaluated in the framework of automotive...

We discuss the design and implementation of CAD tools for creating decorative solids that tile 3-space in a regular, isohedral manner. Isohedral tilings of the plane, as popularized by M. C. Escher, can be constructed by hand or using existing tools on the web. Specialized CAD tools have also been developed for tiling other 2-manifolds. This work addresses the question: How can we generate inte...

Abstract In this paper, due to the importance of maintaining a secure grip with control hand in kayaking, simple three phase process is presented for massive development personalized grips which allow improvement handgrip. This consists obtaining 3D geometry paddler's handgrip by using Reverse Engineering (RE) tools, designing from obtained Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools and manufacturing Ad...
