Inspired by current movements within product design, materials science, production and rapid prototyping technologies, this research explores 3D surface texturization for functional and hedonic product improvement. Developments in Rapid Prototyping and Additive Manufacturing technologies have made the exploration of 3D textures much easier. Designers can now benefit from 3D surface textures on products much more freely in their designs. A research is conducted to determine both the types of 3D surface textures used in current consumer products and what are the usage purposes of these qualities. The research was composed of three studies. The first study involves a survey of textures used on electrical consumer products, which are then classified and analyzed. Based on this analysis, nine types of textures were identified. In the second study, both CAD and Additive Manufacturing tools were explored for 3D surface texture generation capabilities. As a result, nine surface texture were manufactured to be utilized in Study 3. In the third study, these surface texture samples were explored with the Repertory Grid Technique among 30 participants for their both visual and tactual qualities. As a result, 300 elicited attitudes were gathered which were then processed into 17 personal constructs. The thesis finally discusses the implications of these constructs for 3D surface textures.

An intelligent design approach trained by fabrication techniques
Sönmez, Ayça; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-2-15)
The developments in recent technologies through Industry 4.0 lead to the integration of digital design and manufacturing processes. While manufacturing is becoming an essential input of the design, it is usually considered at the last stages of the design process. This misconception creates a gap between digital design and fabrication, resulting in fabricated outcome being different from initial design in the context of architectural tectonics. This thesis aims to provide a basis to bridge digital design an...
A computational architecture methodology for design in traditional tissue: the case of Kalkan
Karabağ, Kutay; Asatekin, Gül; Department of Architecture (2010)
This study targets to address the problem of 'new building in a traditional setting', utilizing computational design tools. The intention is to provide a methodology for analysis of architectural features of a traditional tissue and moreover propose computational design strategies utilizing algorithms for processing analytical data serving new building design. In the introduction part, this goal is exposed as well as a critic discussion based on a conservationist perspective for contemporary examples of com...
Appraisal of augmented reality technologies for supporting industrial design practices
Topal, Başak; Şener Pedgley, Bahar; Department of Industrial Design (2015)
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that enables the integration of computer generated data into real objects and environments. With the rapid advancements in technology, uses of AR have also become widespread. Nowadays, digitally created data including videos, images, sound, 3D models and text can be viewed superimposed on the real objects/environment through devices such as personal computers, tablets, smartphones, head mounted displays, and projection. AR also offers potential uses for industrial desi...
Analysing design processes: a study on graduation projects of industrial design students
Acar, Gün; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2004)
This study analyses students̕ design processes within a graduation project that is devised as to approximate a real-life design task. It comprises a literature search on developments in design methodology, and two field studies, a participant observation study followed by long interviews with a selection of the observation sample. Through the literature search, a framework representing the nature of the design activity is brought together on the basis of three studies in descriptive design methodology. Toge...
Appraisal of augmented reality technologies for supporting industrial design practices
Topal, Basak; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2015-01-01)
Having become widespread and easily accessible with the rapid advancements in technology, augmented reality (AR) offers potential uses for industrial designers, especially for design students. Some design stages, during which traditional tools and methods are used, may not fully communicate the total experience that a product offers. AR can provide a digital layer in which designers can present information and make their presentations more interactive. With this aim in mind, design practice fieldwork with t...
