Research AimsResearch Aims

To develop an easy-to-operate design system,

where consumers can interact with design choicesand customise the design instead of operatingconventional CAD

To make ALM more reliable and easier to operate

by consumers To combine easy manufacturing

(ALM) with easy design

(Design Template)

ALM can simplify the understanding and use ofmanufacturing equipment and would change thefactory into a home appliance

In the future, everyone will have a printer like this

Research DesignResearch Design Design Template uses simple html format that

contains: Data base features

3D modelling created by SolidWorks publisher

So, consumersare able to

review the finaldesign withoutthe need forcostly CADsoftware.

Research ConclusionResearch Conclusion

Design Template: will enable the widespread utilisation of ALM

could be employed by consumers as thesoftware that is compatible with the ALMhardware

could also be used by Small MediumEnterprises (SMEs) who produce specific

products and repeat their designs for a widerange of variants

Future WorkFuture Work

The interface between Design Template,

customisation features (uploading photo/logo,texting) and pre-manufacturing process stillneeds to be developed in the future

Regarding to Open Source Software and theinternet social networking trends, it would beappropriate to create a Portal for ALM Design

Templates to accommodate the designtemplates of other specific products
