New design model revolutionizes product development and enhances team communication.
The article discusses a model that helps capture and organize design decisions for physical objects. This model aims to assist designers in making better decisions, improving communication within design teams, and analyzing products during production. It sees design as a series of interconnected choices made from different options based on certain criteria. The researchers created a basic version of this model to show its potential. Future work will focus on refining and expanding the model for more practical use in design processes.
