Investigation of a Next Generation Application Tool for Cybermanufacturing

This NSF project being investigated by Dr. Cecil and his students deals with the creation of an innovative 'app' which will allow users from a cross section of backgrounds to design and build parts interactively in a 3D environment. A core aspect of this 'app' would be accessibility and simplicity in modifying a given design. The app would be capable of running on both the android and iPhone platforms along with being able to be run on the web. Unlike cumbersome CAD tools, the app being developed will allow those in the maker community and other users to interact intuitively in a 3D environment where they can modify existing designs using a touch screen interface on a smart phone or tablet; a base set of designs will be provided which can be modified interactively.
