Welcome to the Visual Design and Engineering Lab at Carnegie Mellon University Mechanical Engineering Department. Our primary objective is to create new theories and methodologies that enhance early phases of engineering design through novel computational technologies. Our current work involves research in geometric knowledge capture and reuse, 3D geometric design, design synthesis from examples, augmented reality, sketch recognition, and human cognition. The primary applications of our research are in the areas of computer-aided design, industrial product design, pen-based computer applications, surgical plannning and diagnosis tools, and educational technologies.
