This research aims to understand deeply the unique features of the CAD/CAM media tools and their applications, and come up with an initial framework of architectural design and construction process involving the use of CAD/CAM fabrication aids.

This paper describes research that explores computational approaches to automatically developing multiple representations of objects, with the aim of overcoming the limitation of fixed representations. The claim is that if CAD tools used a more fluid system of representation they would be more useful to designers by preventing fixation and by providing a means of resolving the ambiguity in inte...

Generally for any new design initially a concept layout in 2D CAD is generated. But sometimes if the geometry of product becomes complicated, then 3D CAD model is preferred. Because 3D CAD model can give us a complete all side view at a time like a real product, but in a virtual world. The present case study will show the utilization of 3D CAD at the concept design stage of a complicated shaped...

Visualization is the graphical presentation of information, with the goal of improving the viewer’s understanding of the information contents. As today’s world is getting richer in information, visualization of the information is important for effective communication and decision making. In this study, generation of a 3D city model in CAD environment and its use in a spatial decision support sy...

Wave-pipelining is a method of high-performance circuit design which implements pipelin-ing in logic without the use of intermediate latches or registers. This paper presents a tutorial of the principles of wave-pipelining and a survey of recent wave-pipelined VLSI chips and CAD tools for the synthesis and analysis of wave-pipelined circuits. Wave-pipelining has recently drawn considerable inte...

Virtual prototyping is a relatively new field which is significantly changing the product development process. In many applications, virtual prototyping relies on virtual reality tools for analysis of designs. This paper presents an architecture for a virtual prototyping system which was created for the analysis of automotive interiors. This flexible and open architecture allows the integration...

This paper presents the results of a survey of CAD users that examined the ways in which their computational environment may influence their ability to design creatively. This extensive online survey builds upon the findings of an earlier observational case study of the use of computer tools by a small engineering team. The case study was conducted during the conceptual and detailed stages of t...

This paper describes a project to develop international collaborative CAD/CAM at the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Research (CAMR), University of South Australia, Australia. The strategy of using the current computer and communication technologies to provide a computer supported cooperative working (CSCW) environment for the national and international CAD/CAM link from collaborative design ...

This paper presents a methodology to teach the design of complex hardware systems to Computer Engineering students through CAD tools which allow a rapid prototyping and manufacturing of complex systems. The design of such systems requires a broad scope of knowledge and abilities, both for the students and for the teachers. Challenging each student to implement his/her favorite videogame on a FP...

There are at least two categories of errors in radiology screening that can lead to suboptimal diagnostic decisions and interventions: (i) human fallibility and (ii) complexity of visual search. Computer aided diagnostic (CAD) tools are developed to help radiologists to compensate for some of these errors. However, despite their significant improvements over conventional screening strategies, m...
