CAD and Creativity
CAD systems have traditionally aimed to cater mainly to
mechanical engineering and architectural design which are
somewhat constrained in scope. Other types of design such as
industrial design or sculpting, where creativity and aesthetic
factors play an important role, require much more flexibility in
both modelling capability and user-machine interaction. The
speaker will discuss recent work that deals with these
requirements, as well as the directions for future research.
