Document Summary

Objectives: describe the role of graphics in the design process. Identify stages in the design process: contrast concurrent versus traditional design processes, the two important aspects of manufacturing in our society, basic elements of material removal processes. Technical drawings serve one of three purposes: (cid:149) visualization (cid:149) communication (cid:149) documentation (project developed and created by philips design. ) (courtesy of dynojet research, inc. ) (courtesy of woods power grip co. , inc. ) Cad models and sketches are useful during the analysis and compromise stage. Accurate 2d or 3d cad models and drawings are created to refine the design: implementation/documentation: production and/or working drawings providing the details of manufacture and assembly are finalized and approved. A case study from santa cruz bicycles will illustrate the tools used in the redesign of its. At the problem identification stage, the team worked to enlarge the criteria for judging the solution.
