Applying the 3D Morphological Approach Using the Computer-Aided Product Design

Abstract

The morphological approach is used as a way of thinking, finding solutions and alternatives to the design problem. Designers sometimes use this approach as a part of the product design process, especially in the early formation of ideas and drawing sketches. Nowadays, the computer became a partner to the designer during the design process which is called (Computer Aided Product Design), so it is necessary to develop the morphological approach to be more integrative and consensual ...etc., with the use of the computer in the design process. So this paper aims to make a combination between the advantages of the computer as an assistant in the design process and those provided by the morphological approach which will help the designers to produce a large number of ideas in a relatively short time, and also save the industrial enterprises effort and money. On the other side, using the 3d morphological approach will make the design process easier and funnier.
