Executive SummaryModern education technologies are destined to reflect the realities of a modern digital age. The juxtaposition of real and synthetic (computer-generated) worlds as well as a greater emphasis on visual dimension are especially important characteristics that have to be taken into account in learning and teaching. We describe the ways in which an approach to constructive shape modelling can be used to advancing creative visual thinking in artistic and technical education. This approach assumes the use of a simple programming language or interactive software tools for creating a shape model, generating its images, and finally fabricating a real object of that model. It can be considered an educational technology suitable not only for children and students but also for researchers, artists, and designers. The corresponding modelling language and software tools are being developed within an international HyperFun Project. These tools are easy to use by students of different age, specialization and abilities, and can easily be extended and adapted for various educational purposes in different areas.We applied the theoretical framework and software tools at different levels of education starting from elementary schools to doctoral thesis research in various areas related to artistic design and animation, computer graphics, programming languages, software development, and experimental and theoretical physics. In the process, the students learn how rather abstract mathematical expressions result in creating visually and meaningfully appealing computer-generated artefacts of a different nature that can eventually be fabricated as real objects using 3D printing means. Several application case studies in various areas of art, design, and technical education from different educational institutions and countries are presented. The obtained practical experience shows that this approach can be mastered and appreciated by students at different levels of education as an activity stimulating and supporting their creative thinking. The social context of the learning process allowing for collaborative work is also worth of noting.

We describe the ways in which an approach to constructive shape modelling based on the Function Representation (FRep) can be used to facilitate creative thinking in artistic and technical education. This approach assumes the use of a simple programming language or interactive software tools for creating a shape model, generating its images and finally fabricating a real object of that model. It can be considered an educational technology suitable not only for children and students but also for researchers, artists, and designers.

“…Recently, tie-dyeing craft workers are aging, and the younger generation is less interested in acquiring such techniques, which make it difficult to train successors. There are great hopes that robot and digital technology help to succeed traditional craftsmanship [2], [3].…”

There is a serious problem of aging of the craftsmen who have tie-dyeing technique of Japanese traditional craft "Shibori". In substitution for "tying" process by thread on tiedyeing, this paper proposes usage of elastic cap with different thickness at the both ends. A cloth is pushed into the cap by a needle of 1 mm diameter attached on the robot hand. It was confirmed that the cloth was tightened at the both ends of the elastic cap and the effect of the tie-dyeing was valid. The usage of the elastic plastic cap realizes the tie-dyeing pattern similar to the conventional method using thread. Moreover, these elastic caps are reusable. To improve the work efficiency, a cap cartridge and a sub robot attached on the robot hand were examined. The high efficiency of the work was achieved and an increase in the speed of robot was also effective. In regard to polyester cloth, its elasticity increases with projections that are created when the wet heat treatment is applied with the caps on. In this case, the stretch properties are also effective.
