[Season 2: Chapter 5] The Aesthetics of "Continuity" — Into the Abyss of G1, G2, and G3 (Part 1)
T3Japan
DPT Corporation's 3D CAD "ThinkDesign" achieves a high level of coexistence between the "beauty of surfaces (elegance)" pursued by Japanese manufacturing and manufacturing requirements through its unique "GSM (Global Shape Modeling)" technology.
Typically, creating smooth surfaces such as "G2 (curvature continuous)" and "G3 (curvature change rate continuous)" required in automotive design and home appliances has been a complicated process in traditional CAD, involving cumbersome post-processing and the risk of data corruption, akin to "artisan skills." However, GSM simultaneously resolves "deformation" and "ensuring continuity" in real-time. By simply moving the constraints (targets) defined by the designer, the system automatically redefines beautiful surfaces that meet the boundary conditions.
Furthermore, through the integration with "zone modeling," it is possible to make dynamic local changes while keeping existing design lines intact, all completed with just drag operations. This provides an environment where the intuition of veteran designers can be intuitively replicated by younger engineers. "Technical constraints must not stifle the designer's sensibility." DPT Corporation protects its self-developed kernel as a "sanctuary" and promotes the democratization of the design environment.

Nice to meet you, I'm Takachan, working in sales (which is more like a pre-sales role) at ThinkDesign. Usually, I listen to clients' desires for "the kind of service they want to create" and act as a bridge to translate those into a "concrete blueprint" that engineers and designers can easily realize.
