“…Our goal is to create a CAD system available on internet with the same characteristics as a classical one, with powerful tools (for example to draw up an estimate of mechanical parts) and with more specific ones useful to a given profession (such as the one to calculate the shape of a mould in foundry [4]). Obviously, the system responses to the user's interactions must be similar to a classical CAD system ones.…”

Our goal is to create a CAD system dedicated to WWW. Offering a CAD system over the WWW is a viable topic that is still too difficult to handle. The main problem is to transfer CAD system data, which are classical huge. Unfortunately this transfer is time and web-line consuming and no specific method exists. This paper begins with a survey of the current field of algorithm reducing data volume, in order to transfer less data on the web. Since they are not dedicated to CAD model, which are still huge after treatments, we propose three transmission methods specific to each main model used in CAD: CSG, octree and B-Rep. We show their limits, which can be pushed back by a functional model.

“…First of all, one has to consider this methodology as a means of automatically generating solutions shapes that may give ideas to the designer for the final product shape. We applied such a methodology within the framework of the filling system for foundry mould design [8]. We validated the methodology by taking the specificity of the foundry (trade features) into account.…”

“…The function to form mapping appears to be one of the most important activities of the design process and up till now happened manually. This activity is very important both for the choices that are made and for the quantity of work that it represents [8]. That is why we have the desire to assist designers in the first stages of product design.…”
