“…Finally, a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) based model was used for addressing all the previous concepts and provide access to a 3D solid model. The 3D solid model was used for acquiring a 3D printed gameboard to be used for testing the users' experience following the holistic design process and approach (Kyratsis, 2020;Kyratsis, Kakoulis & Markopoulos, 2020). The CAD model is actually a gameboard that was used by the visually impaired user, while the assistant was leading the user's finger and described in real time, the evolution of the game (Figure 5).…”

Loss of eyesight inflicts multiple difficulties in everyday lives’ tasks affecting not just the visually impaired but also their loved ones. The sense of being depleted by the otherwise visually perceived satisfaction from attending various events becomes a burden not just in terms of joy but also in relation to accompanying parties. The aim of this research work was to provide a worthy perceived experience of attending a soccer match with the company of a friend, centered at the visually impaired person’s needs and perspective. The methodology developed was based on a holistic approach combining a number of creative tools, in order to explore, visualize and evaluate the proposed solutions, with advanced CAD modeling, rendering techniques and 3D printing technology for improved representation and prototyping of the final product. Evaluation via multi-criteria decision-making casted the developed system as quite usable, suitable for assisting the visually impaired users in absorbing valuable information regarding the real time progress of a live soccer event using the selves-developed tactile interface. That way, visually impaired people are able to use the final product with a great deal of success and “feel the view” and the “time” in a variety of cases, allowing them to better enjoy attending an entertainment event, such as soccer, with the interactive company of a friend.

“…The first six steps of the workflow comprise the first part of the code. The second part of the code begins with a feature traversal on the part [16], searching for the defined attributes. Next, the parameter values (cutting speed, feed, position in X axis, position in Y axis, position in Z axis, hole depth and hole diameter) of the found attributes are extracted.…”

The automated generation of G-code for machining processes is a valuable tool at the hands of every engineer and machinist. Nowadays, many software systems exist that provide automated functions related to G-code generation. Most free software require the import of a Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) file and cannot work directly on a 3D part. On the contrast, the equivalent commercially-available software systems are feature-rich and can provide a variety of automated processes, but are usually highly priced. The presented application aims to supplement the existing free Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems by providing a way of generating G-code for drilling operations, using already owned commercial 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems such as SolidWorksTM. Thus, in the case of 3D part drilling, a standard 3D CAD system is sufficient since the code can be adopted by most modern CAD software with minor changes. Moreover, no specialized CAM software is required. In order to achieve this automation, the Application Programming Interface (API) of SolidWorks™ 2018 was utilized, which allows for the design of visualized User Interfaces (UI) and the development of code under the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA™) programming language. The available API methods are employed to recognize the features that were used to design the part, as well as extract the geometric parameters of each of these features. In addition, an embedded calculator automatically defines the cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed and tool) based on the user selections. Finally, the application generates the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) code for the summary of the discovered holes according to the standardized G-code commands; the output can be a typical TXT or NC file that can be easily converted to the preference of the user if necessary.

This research aims to display, compare, and analyze the keywords related to parametric design, generative design, and algorithmic design. Digital design has become increasingly inseparable from architects; thus, 3D modeling software has become a necessity for architects. The digital workflow has put computational design—generative design, algorithmic design, and parametric design—into importance. There are emerging trends for the past decade, and a bibliometric analysis can display information about trends in the literature. Literature trends may provide insight into the direction of computational design development. This study uses a bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer and data from Lens to identify the trends from 2011 to 2021. The result indicates several trends: artificial intelligence, computation, machine learning, visualization, and internet technology. The trend analysis needs to be continued in other computational design categories to find continuity in the findings.
