產品組件之幾何組態變異在電腦輔助構想發展的應用

Abstract

電腦輔助工業設計(CAID)是近年來工業設計界最熱門的項目之一，然而少 以輔助構想發展方面的研究與應用。目前電腦已是大家所認同最佳的開發 利器，致於要如何使用CAD工具來琢磨開發創意則是值得深入研究的課題 。本文嘗試從設計發展過程本質的探討，來尋求有效應用電腦於構想發展 的可能形式。研究重點即在探討設計師以產品組件幾何組態的變異在電腦 輔助構想發展之應用的可行性及其程序。其研究架構包括：(1)設計思考 活動的探討(2)現有相關造形設計方法的分析 (3)電腦幾何變換方法的探 討(4)提出電腦輔助構想發展的程序(5)實例驗證等。 Computer-aided design(CAD) is one major trend in the area of industrial design. However, there are few researches about computer-aided idea development. We've already agreed that computer is one of the best tools for development. Thus it is worth investigating how to manipulate CAD tools for helping idea development. This paper intends to find the effective possible ways of computer aided idea development by investigating the essence of design development process. We concentrate on how to apply the variation of the geometric configuration of product components to computer-aided idea development. In this paper, there are the studies of design thinking activity, relating form development methods, and the computer geometric transformation methods. Then we submit the possible process of computer-aided idea development, and finally show an example.
