NDLI: A digital design and fabrication library

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Dritsas, Stylianos
Abstract	The goal of our system, for lack of better name at moment named as Alpha, is to offer an integrated approach to digital design and fabrication with capabilities beyond computer aided design and manufacturing. We attempt this to identify new modes of digital design thinking and to address the broader picture, that is, the challenge of translating between design and its production. It is to understand the complexity of design and its implications in production, to enable and perform architectural design analysis, rationalization and design performance optimization. We integrate visual: geometric modeling and simulation components; and non-visual: mathematical modeling and numerical optimization techniques. The intended audience at the current early stage of development is the research community in digital design and fabrication and design education with later goal of expanding to production.
