“…This technique is applicable across various sectors, including manufacturing, product design, architecture, and entertainment. The digital product modelling framework employed in this study has been derived and modified from Daud's [19] proposed framework of conceptual knowledge in 3D CAD modelling. This study has explored the four key constructs: Model Creation, Model Manipulation, Model Visualization, and Model Transfer.…”

The contemporary industry landscape requires engineering graduates to have expertise in utilizing advanced Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools. However, prevailing practices reveal a lack of contextual knowledge among Mechanical Engineering undergraduates and fresh graduate engineers in effectively employing 3D CAD modelling software for optimal product design development. Consequently, this study was undertaken to address this issue, with a specific focus on the integration of contextual knowledge into 3D CAD modelling. The study aims to elucidate the fundamental elements of contextual knowledge regularly employed by practicing engineers in their daily design endeavours, specifically in 3D CAD modelling. A transcendental phenomenology approach was used, and four engineers from the engineering department of a shipbuilding company in Peninsular Malaysia were purposefully selected as respondents. The analysis yielded three recurring themes central to the application of contextual knowledge in visualizing and presenting models through 3D CAD modelling: Realization, Design Intention, and Normalization. These elements are pivotal in assisting engineers in contextualizing their design work during the modelling and presentation stages of the new product development process.

“…Wang et al (2009) provide an example of this type of facility by stating that any modifications made to any part or assembly are automatically generated in all associated parts and drawing sheets, resulting in all relevant files being modified simultaneously when the main part is manipulated. According to Daud et al (2012), the final shape of the created model can be manipulated by modifying the geometry or features of the part. In order to achieve a rich diversity of design variations, this context has been explored in this study in order to contextualize the manipulation activity within the context of 3D CAD modeling process among practicing engineers in the manufacturing industry.…”

Engineers’ ability to contextualize their created 3D CAD model during the design stage is the most important aspect of product design. In this conducted research, researcher has found that there was a lack of contextual knowledge among Mechanical Engineering Undergraduates and fresh graduate engineers in utilizing Three-Dimensional Computer Aided Design (3D CAD) modeling software in developing a good product design. In addressing this issue, a study has been conducted to focus on the representation of contextual knowledge elements in 3D CAD modeling applications. This article focused on presenting essential elements of contextual knowledge utilized among practicing engineers in their daily design works, in the aspect of Model Manipulation. Transcendental phenomenology approach has been utilized as the main research methodology. Four practicing engineers from engineering department of one shipbuilding company in Peninsular Malaysia were purposively selected to be studied. From the analysis, there are three most frequent emerging themes in the application of contextual knowledge in manipulating model using 3D CAD modeling: Realization, Design Intention and Normalization. These three elements play an important role in helping engineers to contextualize their design work during the stage of manipulating created model for new product development process.
