Abstract:
This study investigates how clinicians and technicians describe the preparation and use of CAD models in collaborative design sessions for mass personalised products. Semi-structured interviews with ten professionals were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed three themes: the input data required before modelling, the additional information that supports interaction with the CAD model, and the role-specific ways in which contributors evaluate it. These insights guided the development of an initial parametric CAD model intended to support future collaborative work.
