Abstract
Multi-material products are getting increasingly popular in recent years. Yet no systems have been developed to support the design of such products. In this paper, a haptic-based method for designing multi-material products is proposed. The proposed method consists of three main parts: haptic painting/marking, boundary smoothing/fitting, and volume decomposition. A prototype system based on the three parts has been implemented using a haptic input device. The haptic device provides an intuitive user interface for quick volume mark up in a multi-material product by direct mesh painting. Each painted region represents a material volume whose boundary can be automatically traced and smoothed. Based on the boundaries of painted regions, volume decomposition can be done automatically when needed. Each decomposed volume can be assigned a different material or color. The numerous iterations of volume mark up and decomposition in the early stage of multi-material product design can now be made easy and effective with the proposed method.
