The completeness of an industrial Designer. Many times colleagues have asked my what is my reason for posting these videos on processes and techniques in various materials and processes. The answer is simply that I wish to share my knowledge and experience with my colleagues and young Industrial Designers, architects and sculptors to hopefully help them work better and at a faster turn around time and at a lower cost. We I.D. people are not artisans, we are not sculptors, we are not architects or engineers, our disciplines and ways of working may. Many times our work has many of these above mentioned professional components, however we also think of repetition, production processes materials and assembly as part of our Design journey. As a result of these added parameters, in my opinion, we are obliged to have a very broad knowledge and familiarity with production techniques in both cutting edge design disciplines and traditional design and prototyping methods in a vast array of materials and processes. We should not limit ourselves to a tunnel vision of processes which limit us and be able to carry our projects through in our prototyping to production at a very reasonable cost . Attached is an open letter to an introductory working session with the I.D. department of my alma Mater R.I.S.D. which explains my reasoning. ........................................................................................................................................... I take for granted that an industrial Designer is proficient in the discipline of 3D modelling, stereolithography models and synterizing techniques. Yet a quick hand sketch can be faster, more direct and if done as an exploded view with perspective and some basic dimensions can quickly give you the vital info to start exploring solutions in three dimensions. Once the models are worked on to your satisfaction you can then scan the surfaces and get the 3D math you need to complete the cycle, by doing reverse engineering. In my experience, by touching, picking your materials carefully, continually exploring new material sources and here we can get into a rich all encompassing world. Forming, shaping and discovering things you might not have considered through this highly sensorial process and dialogue with materials, tools, your hands can unveil unexpected design solutions and surprisingly, can also be very fast and efficient. I believe that by integrating this very hands-on process and dialoguing with the standard 3D modelling and stereolit processes can make a vital difference and cut development time and make for a better, more unique project. The completeness of the renaissance man or woman is still valid today. Alberto Fraser for F R A S E R D E S I G N

🛠️ From Sketches to Structures: My Industrial Design Journey 🛠️ As an Industrial Designer, my journey began with the basics, and oh, what a ride it has been! From the early days of grappling with software to mastering Design for Manufacturing, every step has been a leap in learning. Remember the first time I used a 3D printer? That magical moment when digital designs took physical form. And let’s not forget the weight of the tools, literally and figuratively, as they transformed raw ideas into tangible realities. Collaboration is the name of the game in our field. Working alongside software, electrical, and mechanical engineers, we’ve debated over a quarter inch here or there. It’s amazing how such a small change can redefine a component’s form and skyrocket its performance. Communication is key, and liaising with vendors has honed my skills to a fine edge. Explaining the nitty-gritty of our needs helped me step out of my introverted shell and into the light of clear, effective dialogue. Then there’s the fieldwork – the markets, malls, and shops. Each visit is a mission for inspiration, a quest for the ‘why’ behind people’s preferences in design. It’s a fascinating puzzle, translating the language of design to those who don’t speak it by trade. Sure, there have been moments of doubt, times when burnout loomed, and hope seemed like a distant friend. But after a refreshing tea break, the passion reignites, and the work – always worth the effort – calls me back. Here’s to all the industrial designers out there, shaping the world one design at a time. Let’s keep creating, collaborating, and communicating – the world needs our visions made real. #IndustrialDesign #DesignJourney #Collaboration #Communication #Innovation #DesignThinking

A Guide to B and C Surface Creation :- In the world of automotive design, attention to detail is everything! 🌟 One of the critical components in interior design is the cup holder. Let's dive into how to create B and C surfaces for a cup holder using CATIA V5. Steps to Create B and C Surfaces in CATIA V5 :- ✅ Step 1: Understand the Part Design Intent -Begin with the A-surface (the visible surface) provided by the styling team. This is your reference for creating the B and C surfaces. ✅ Step 2: B-Surface Creation The B-surface is the functional side, hidden beneath the aesthetics. Follow these steps: -Offset the A-Surface: Use the Offset tool to create a parallel surface at the desired thickness. -Adjust Features: Use tools like Split, Trim, or Extrapolate to refine edges and accommodate engineering requirements (e.g., ribs or slots). -Apply Fillets: Ensure smooth transitions between edges for manufacturability. ✅ Step 3: C-Surface Creation -The C-surface blends the A and B surfaces, ensuring a smooth transition. Here's how: -Sweep or Blend Tool: Use these to create tangency between A and B surfaces. -Check Continuity: Ensure G2 curvature continuity for aesthetic and functional integrity. - Join: Finalize the transitions using Join tools. Draft Analysis :- 1️⃣ Open the Part Design or Generative Shape Design workbench. 2️⃣ Apply the Draft Analysis tool to check the component's draft angles (ensure a minimum of 3° for easy ejection in molds). 3️⃣ Use colored shading to identify problematic areas like undercuts or insufficient draft. 4️⃣ Modify the surfaces as needed using tools like Fillet, Split, or Offset, ensuring compliance with manufacturability requirements.

Simple geometric modeling concepts of sophisticated engineering design JJMdelaTorre Post 1 of 8 // I am old enough to have started from conventional engineering drawing using pen, paper, triangles, compass, protractor and t-square. Now that I am equipped with modern engineering design software to create geometric models and carry out physics simulation, it is noteworthy to point out the simple concepts from which the current complex features of engineering design software are built upon.     01 Sketching   The most fundamental sketch is a freehand sketch from which a conceptual design may be spontaneously expressed. There are many sketching softwares that are available for the artist and the design engineer. Some examples are: Sketchbook (Autodesk), Illustrator (Adobe), Krita and a bunch of tablet applications.   Digital sketching, as opposed to conventional pencil and paper sketching, allows a wide range of flexibility to the designer such as: 1) fast, reversible, non-destructive editing, 2) quick change of sketching tools, 3) multiple choice of canvas types and sizes, 4) wide availability of colors, 5) ability to stack up design features in layers and, 6) ability to save or export to different file formats.   The other kind of sketching is technical sketching which serves as the fundamental building block of popular computer-aided design (CAD) softwares: SolidWorks, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Catia, Inventor. In the context of these CAD softwares, a sketch is the basic outline of a geometric model which are expressed in terms of lines, splines and circles. These basic sketch elements do not have thickness but they do have length and radius. A sketch is often done on a two-dimensional plane although a three-dimensional sketch is also possible by reorienting the 2D sketch unto another orthogonal 2D plane as the sketch progresses.   The basic sketch on a plane, when extruded unto an orthogonal direction, or revolved  around an axis, forms a three-dimensional solid body. */ Part 1 of N.

🎨 Understanding Design Process Technologies: A Simple House-Building Analogy! 🔧 Imagine you're building a house 🏠. You start with a basic drawing 📝, but you don't stop there. You need precise measurements, visualizations, and tools to see how the house will look, both inside and out. Here’s how design process technologies work similarly: 1️⃣ From Sketch to Blueprint 🖊️➡️📜: Just like you first draw a rough idea of your house on paper, in design, we start with basic concepts or initial models of a product. This stage is important but doesn’t show the full picture. 2️⃣ Moving to Digital Tools 💻: After the sketch, we use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to make a detailed, accurate digital version of the product—just like transforming your house sketch into a 3D model 🏗️. You can now walk through rooms virtually, check the structure from all angles, and even test it for problems before it's built! 3️⃣ Collaborating with Experts 👷🔗: Building a house requires input from many experts like electricians, plumbers, and carpenters. Similarly, advanced design tools connect engineers, designers, and project managers. They work together using the same model, sharing information, and making changes in real-time. This integrates knowledge and technology seamlessly. 4️⃣ Visualization and Prototyping 🖼️: Imagine being able to see your house in full 3D, inside and out, before you even lay a single brick! CAD software allows us to do just that with products. We can even simulate how the product works under different conditions to make sure it’s perfect before it’s made. 🔁 The End Result? You save time, money, and resources by preventing mistakes early on. The whole process is faster, more collaborative, and much more accurate than traditional methods. Design Process Technologies are revolutionizing how we create products, just like modern tools are revolutionizing how we build homes. #Innovation #DesignTech #CAD #Manufacturing #ProductDevelopment #DesignTech #Innovation #ProductDevelopment #CAD #Manufacturing #EngineeringDesign #3DModeling #TechTransformation #HiringNow #Recruitment #CareersInTech #ManufacturingJobs #ProductDesign #VirtualDesign

🌟 **Can an Engineer Create a Stunning and Final Product Like a Mechanical Designer?** 🌟 I'm pondering an intriguing question today: Can an engineer truly deliver a final product that matches the aesthetic and functional finesse of a mechanical designer? Engineers and mechanical designers both play critical roles in the creation of components and systems. Engineers bring deep technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and a focus on functionality and safety. On the other hand, mechanical designers excel in translating technical requirements into elegant and practical designs, often with a keen eye for aesthetics and usability. But where do the lines blur? Can engineers, with their rigorous approach to specifications and tolerances, also master the art of creating visually appealing and user-friendly designs? Or is there an inherent advantage that mechanical designers have when it comes to the final touches that make a product truly exceptional? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Have you seen engineers successfully step into the designer's shoes and vice versa? What skills or mindsets are essential for bridging the gap between engineering precision and design elegance? Let's discuss! 💬👇 #Engineering #MechanicalDesign #ProductDevelopment #Innovation #DesignThinking --- Feel free to adjust any part of this to better match your style or specific context!
