Students of architecture have as a part of their training, the acquisition of Computer Aided Design proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit and other software, in order to be relevant in the global terrain. Currently, in the curriculum of the study of Architecture in Covenant University, the students are assembled in the Digital Design Studio with the advanced computer graphics suite on each system. As in the case of learning technologies, the use of new media is grounded in its value to support sound pedagogical approaches. This paper investigates the current study methods adopted in Architecture by administering questionnaires to undergraduate and postgraduate students of the 2016/2017 batch. The data collected showed a marked learning gap as a result of the adopted method of teaching. It is expected that the introduction of new media technologies and websites for hands-on training will lead to marked improvement in the knowledge dissemination and acquisition. Keywords: New media technologies, Teaching of Computer, Digital Design;

Abstract The current trends towards fully integrated digital design processes depend on the use of physical mockups. Free Form Fabrication extracts data from Computer Aided Design software and transforms them into a tangible reality. Virtual Reality (VR) provides a remarkable complement to these techniques. The system presented responds to the needs to ensure accurate data and quick prototyping by providing visualization and edition of Computer Aided Design files in a Virtual Environment. This paper expands on the use of VR to virtually prototype artifacts represented by .STL files. It describes different techniques to interact with the object in the VE. Besides manipulating the object, various methods to display the triangles generated by tessellation are detailed and ways to correct the files are illustrated.

This paper will discuss computer-aided design software use in textile design, from the development of computer-aided design applications and home textiles design, software is the core of computer-aided design in textile design, graphic combined with three-dimensional software, building the systematic of home textiles design and computer-aided design to enhance the artistic beauty of textile design. Secondly, introduce the two-dimensional and three-dimensional software application in fabric pattern and textile design. We can see the convenience of computer-aided design, which combines technology and art in one. And from the comparison of plane and solid software, both proposed to build a systematic mutual, for textile design, which is based on the performance requirements and the effect of artistic design, and the theoretical analysis of consumer purchase intention and behavior; and discussing from the beauty of color、 formal and spatial three aspects of computer-aided design to enhance the artistic beauty of textile design.

Background: A maxillofacial prosthesis, an alternative to surgery for the rehabilitation of patients with facial disabilities (congenital or acquired due to malignant disease or trauma), are meant to replace parts of the face or missing areas of bone and soft tissue and restore oral functions such as swallowing, speech and chewing, with the main goal being to improve the quality of life of the patients. The conventional procedures for maxillofacial prosthesis manufacturing involve several complex steps, are very traumatic for the patient and rely on the skills of the maxillofacial team. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing have opened a new approach to the fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses. Our review aimed to perform an update on the digital design of a maxillofacial prosthesis, emphasizing the available methods of data acquisition for the extraoral, intraoral and complex defects in the maxillofacial region and assessing the software used for data processing and part design. Methods: A search in the PubMed and Scopus databases was done using the predefined MeSH terms. Results: Partially and complete digital workflows were successfully applied for extraoral and intraoral prosthesis manufacturing. Conclusions: To date, the software and interface used to process and design maxillofacial prostheses are expensive, not typical for this purpose and accessible only to very skilled dental professionals or to computer-aided design (CAD) engineers. As the demand for a digital approach to maxillofacial rehabilitation increases, more support from the software designer or manufacturer will be necessary to create user-friendly and accessible modules similar to those used in dental laboratories.

Born-digital design records are among the most interesting and challenging digital objects that archivists have to preserve. Currently transitioning from 2-D to 3-D computer-aided design imaging applications in proprietary file formats, design firms and their future archivists face real obstacles in preserving and making these materials accessible in the long term. This article examines three recent web projects/resources in Europe and North America that have attempted to establish guidelines and standards for archiving these objects, and discusses upcoming projects at the British Architectural Library’s Drawings & Archives Collections to tackle collecting born-digital design records.

In the digital design process, surface modeling is required to be as accurate as possible for the effective support of production as well as for numerical performance analysis. This article reviews the geometric modeling techniques, based on non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS). The NURBS surface can be readily translated into many CAD/CAM packages (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing), which is more convenient for visualization performance and finite element methods.
