Nowadays products extend their capabilities towards changing their configurations in order to cover multiple usage needs. They may be named transformable products and have not been taken into consideration in early design stages yet. In this paper, a proactive definition of the product is provided with transformation intrinsic properties. The formalization leads to an architecture. This enables developing a transformable product from two ordinary non-evolving objects. Different configurations and transformation processes have been set and implemented within a CAD tool to design a transformable product. A new paradigm is thus initiated, which will lead to efficient and dynamic design of transformable product.

“…To design transformables, researchers take a character skeleton and a target shape as inputs (see the left of Figure 19(b)), and formulate the design problem as a decomposition of the target shape guided by the skeleton. Huang et al [HCLC16] addressed the problem by adjusting the skeleton, embedding it into the target shape, and finding an optimal decomposition of the shape into parts using simulated annealing. To animate the transformables, they proposed a two‐level motion‐planning process to find collision‐free transforms between the two shapes.…”

An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Designing assemblies is a non-trivial task as a slight local modification on a part's geometry or its joining method could have a global impact on the structural and/or functional performance of the whole assembly. Assemblies can be classified as structures that transmit force to carry loads and mechanisms that transfer motion and force to perform mechanical work. In this state-of-the-art report, we focus on computational design of structures with rigid parts, which generally can be formulated as a geometric modeling and optimization problem. We broadly classify existing computational design approaches, mainly from the computer graphics community, according to high-level design objectives, including fabricability, structural stability, reconfigurability, and tileability. Computational analysis of various aspects of assemblies is an integral component in these design approaches. We review different classes of computational analysis and design methods, discuss their strengths and limitations, make connections among them, and propose possible directions for future research.

“…In this process, Boxelization helps transform a 3D object into a series of small cubes where adjacent cubes are either linearly-linked and/or fold [36]. Huang et al explores the design and animation of the motion of transformation based on the input 3D model and target skeleton representing the desired figure [14]. Yu et al investigates transforming the object with telescopic structures using user sketches or an arbitrary mesh as input [34].…”

“…Prior work focused on actuating passive objects [4,27,22] using attachable mechanisms, yet has not taken account how to transform given objects. Prior work that addressed transformables tends to focus on computational analysis of geometry and optimization [35,36,14], rather than providing design assistance to create user-defined custom transformables. Further, these approaches almost exclusively exploit geometry as the only constraint when generating a transformable design (e.g., [35]), with little consideration of obtained functionality, i.e., how a transformable can perform a user-defined task.…”
