This study served as a pilot to develop the methodology for a larger number of clinical trials. Ten trans-tibial amputees compared sockets made by conventional methods with sockets made using computer aided socket design (CASD). Prosthetists, paired for experience, fitted each subject with one prosthesis using each method. A preferred socket was selected by the subject on the basis of comfort without knowledge of the method by which the socket was designed. Prosthetists also evaluated the sockets. Three subjects preferred sockets built using CASD and one subject preferred the conventional socket only slightly more than the CASD socket. Six subjects clearly preferred the conventional fitting.

This study explores the application of computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) to the process of electronically surveying a scanned dental cast as a prior stage to producing a sacrificial pattern for a removable partial denture (RPD) metal alloy framework. These are designed to retain artificial replacement teeth in the oral cavity. A cast produced from an impression of a patient's mouth was digitally scanned and the data converted to a three-dimensional computer file that could be read by the computer-aided design (CAD) software. Analysis and preparation were carried out in the digital environment according to established dental principles. The CAD software was then used to design the framework and generate a standard triangulation language (STL) file in preparation for its manufacture using rapid prototyping (RP) methods. Several RP methods were subsequently used to produce sacrificial patterns, which were then cast in a chromium-cobalt alloy using conventional methods and assessed for accuracy of fit. This work demonstrates that CAD/CAM techniques can be used for electronic dental cast analysis, preparation, and design of RPD frameworks. It also demonstrates that RP-produced patterns may be successfully cast using conventional methods and that the resulting frameworks can provide a satisfactory fit.

AbstractFor Aristotelian scholars, matter is identified as the subject of change, while form is the boundary of matter. Design is a process of bringing about change. From a design perspective, material is what an entity is made from; form is what makes a thing what it is. Based on the principle, “form is the boundary of matter”, this paper proposes a Design by Material method, thereby addressing the knowledge gap of a systematic method for designing according to material. This method is predicated on the material specification as the first input in the design process. A formal model is built in which the material acts as a trigger and driver for the design process. The method is implemented by integrating computer-aided design (CAD) modelling and its design form. A design application is explained to demonstrate the relevance of the Design by Material method.

The problem of the formation of subject-oriented knowledge bases in the subject area of operation of computer-aided design systems is discussed. One of the trends in the development of CAD systems is their intellectualization through the development of a system-wide environment, including the means of methodological support of the design activities of users. It is proposed to use the otological approach in identifying and updating the content of knowledge bases used by target CAD personnel. The results of an experiment on the development of a targeted taxonomy in the subject area of computer-aided design of engineering products are presented.

Forty-eight below-knee amputees compared sockets designed using CANFIT computer aided design (CAD) software with sockets designed using conventional methods. Each subject was fitted by one prosthetist who used conventional techniques and one who used the CANFIT system to design the socket. Prosthetists alternated design methods for each new subject. The prosthetist using the conventional techniques was allowed up to 2 design attempts and the prosthetist using the CANFIT system was allowed up to 5 design attempts. After 2 design attempts with each method 21% of the subjects preferred the CANFIT design socket. Following up to 5 attempts 54% preferred the CANFIT designed socket. A jury of experts made an assessment of the CANFIT system and of CAD in prosthetics. The jury did not think that the version of the system tested was cost effective but that at the rate that it was improving it would become such within 3 to 5 years. The jury noted that, as well as monetary benefits, CAD presents the possibility of benefits in other areas such as research and teaching. A number of specific suggestions regarding the use and development of CAD in prosthetics were also made.

The urgency and significance of the application of the ontological approach in teaching computer-aided design is sub-stantiated. Training and retraining of personnel is one of the important stages in the implementation of automated sys-tems for industrial purposes, and methodological support tools are necessarily present in the portfolio of all leading manufacturers of computer-aided design systems (CAD). Principles and approaches to the formation of the ontological base of the subject area of teaching computer-aided design are proposed. To highlight the structure of educational ontology, it is proposed to use the concepts of aspects of mechanical engineering design. The hierarchy of levels of training for CAD users is determined. At the operator level, training comes down to mastering a limited set of terms and concepts implemented in specific system solutions. At the technician level, it is required to master a wider set of stand-ard design procedures typical for a whole class of basic CAD technologies. At the engineering levels, the user acquires the knowledge necessary to master the technologies and CAD tools in the complex of all stages of technical prepara-tion of production. The article describes the method of ontological analysis of the studied subject area, which ensures the formation of target trajectories for training and retraining specialists, providing for a number of sequential stages in the formation of an ontological base. The article describes the method of ontological analysis of the subject area of education, which ensures the formation of target trajectories of training and retraining of specialists and provides for a number of successive stages of the formation of an ontological base. To optimize the individual trajectories of training CAD specialists, special software has been developed, integrated with the Protégé ontological editor.
