Abstract
This paper deals with the integration of CAD/CAM software for efficient collaboration in the design process. Approaches currently developed by vendors for integrating the design process are discussed. It is assumed that such technologies reduce the capabilities of innovation by closing the design activity framework. Thus an alternative to existing systems is proposed. This alternative provides a common space to share knowledge about design among several experts from various skills. Properties and main functions of this tool are described. The collaboration of actors using their own skilled application through this tool is described. Then special attention is given to the use of existing geometric modeller. Relations between geometric modeller and the collaborative tool are analysed, and development specifications for coupling both are proposed.
