Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
An approach to provide automatically generated feedback on manufacturability for engineering designers without breaking their flow of thought is presented. The origin of the feedback should be knowledge bases maintained by manufacturers. Therefore, the feedback provider is from the perspective of the engineering designer behind a network. This “remote design checks” introduces additional aspects regarding latency and intellectual property protection, which are incorporated into a proposed distributed software architecture. Feedback is provided directly in engineers authoring tools (CAD software). A proof of concept implementation was created. Architecture and proof of concept are evaluated and discussed on the basis of a use case based on aluminium extrusion.
