Digital Styling for Designers: in Prospective Automotive Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although a great part of the new-product development process in automotive industry is already digitalized to some degree, the level of digitalization of the styling process is not so high particularly in view of concurrent engineering. This paper is (1) to investigate the state-of-the-art of computer-aided styling (CAS), (2) to propose desirable CAS guidelines reflecting the characteristics of the automotive styling process, and (3) to suggest three possible CAS alternatives based on the guidelines: (a) the digital design sketch, (b) real-size spline curve modification system, and (c) direct 3D shape creation method for professional automotive stylists.

Supporting Early Styling Design of Automobiles Using Sketch-based 3D Shape Construction
In the early stages of automotive design, designers produce a rich set of concept sketches to develop and communicate their ideas. These sketches convey useful information regarding the desired shape and style. However, creating a 3D digital model consistent with the sketch is a laborious process with existing CAD tools. This shortcoming limits most conceptual explorations to 2D, leaving the de...
متن کاملDigital Styling for Designers: Sketch Emulation in Computer Environment
The digitalization of product-styling tools for the early designdevelopment stage has focused on using raster-type graphics S/Ws. These kinds of S/Ws enable designers freely to generate ideas, and enhance them based on their creativity and aesthetic senses. However, resultants from raster-type tools are no more than images, which are hardly converted to digital forms required by downstream proc...
متن کاملAn innovative approach to the aesthetic design
As the aesthetic aspect of a product is becoming more and more important in customers' decisions, there is an increasing need of tools able to express and preserve the styling intent during the product development cycle, while offering an interaction with the user much more adherent to his mentality. The European Project FIORES-II (Character Preservation and Modelling in Aesthetic and Engineeri...

Automotive body styling appraisement is very important for body styling design. Because there is not tangible standard at the structure ascertaining of artificial neural network(ANN) and improvement of stability is needed for ANN inside black box characteristic, a bus-styling appraisement method using extension theory-based artificial neural network is presented. The key techniques of quasi-thr...
متن کاملDevelopment of CAD models from sketches: a case study for automotive applications
Today products are designed not only for their functional requirements but also for aesthetics. In the automotive industries, styling has become a major part of the design process with class-A surfaces. Class-A surfaces are freeform surfaces with a continuous curvature. The process of engineering any component or system begins by generating a concept that actually describes the product in terms...
