“…For example, in an early study, Tovey et al (2000) Kim et al (2013) who expand on the classification of conceptual design representation to account for how the designer's particular goal in the construction of a representation influences both tool choice and the characteristics of the design representation itself. Goel (1995) identifies insights into the relationship between sketching as tool for representation and reasoning during conceptual design.…”

Abstract:The study compared the use of digital and conventional sketching as influence upon conceptual design work. Results show a significantly increased focus of attention upon the sketching tool in the digital condition compared to conventional sketching with pen and paper. Both a statistical analysis and fine-grained qualitative comparison illustrate how increased frequencies of sketching tool focused activities resulted in both significantly more time spent in problem orientated work and the fragmentation of attempts to transition from problem definition to generative solution ideation. In contrast, reduced tool-focused activity in the conventional sketching condition appeared to provide opportunities for significantly increased solution ideation through design-driven moves to explore reflect upon and develop solution propositions. The implications of a tool orientated focus of attention are discussed in terms of its impact upon reflective solution ideation during conceptual design.

“…In this way, there exists a relationship between the designer, the particular design tool used during activity and the kinds of embodiments made in support of the various requirements of practice. The character of an individual tool will influence the kinds of embodiments made (Tovey and Owen 2000). The skills and experience of the designer have implications for the ways in which the design tool is used during design activity, which in turn influences the character of the design embodiment (Lawson and Dorst 2009).…”

The ability to embody design intentions is critical to an industrial designer's studio practice. From the design sketch to 3D computer-aided design, an increasing variety of design tools are employed in the embodiment of design proposals. A literature review identified the implicit characteristics of tool use during design activity. These characteristics were employed in surveys of design practitioners and design students. Findings indicated a tendency for student design activity to be characterized by convergence and less exploration, early fixation and attachment to concept, in contrast to the practitioners' more divergent and iterative approach. A concern for conventional research dissemination, articulated through conference papers and academic journals, to engage a practice-orientated audience lead to the development of a digital resource (IDsite). The paper describes an interim pilot of the resource. Findings suggest, although IDsite requires further development, the approach has relevance in terms of the communication of design knowledge.

“…In particular, the work of Michael Tovey et al at Coventry University has looked at CAD in relation to transport design education. A series of articles have considered the implementation of CAD procedures to enhance the design process without inhibiting the visual and creative approaches used by designers [6]; and the use of CAD in the initial concept stages of the automotive design process and the consequent limitations on the production of multiple design possibilities [7]. A later article provided an in-depth analysis of the initial sketching process itself as used by transport designers, deconstructing the process in order to explore the potential capability of CAD software to create solid models from two-dimensional sketch information such as form lines and shadows [8].…”

Advanced 3D Laser Scanning processes have developed over the last decade and are now available and affordable for medium to large companies as well as education. This study examines the overall efficiency of the 3D scanning process and potential value for use in design education. The potential effectiveness of the 3D laser technology for education is also assessed with live projects.This article explores a reverse engineering approach for product form design. Three-dimensional models of design concepts are created in clay, and data points on the surface of the model are then measured using a non-contact 3D scan device. The resulting data is then imported into an appropriate CAD design package for further design development.
