- Current computer aided design (CAD) capability it is centred on nominally defined geometries and design architectures in support of the manufacturing enterprise. This work covers a series of novel approaches which will change fundamental CAD practice by exploiting geometry parametrisation to drive a more informed approach to making manufacturing related decisions around tolerances and fits. Having been informed by industry through broader collaborations in computer aided methods (Rolls Royce, Bombardier) it is clear that this work has significant industrial impact through improved design processes, more optimal products and manufacturing processes and more competitive UK OEMs
