The waterfall model is a sequential design process, often used in S/W development processes, in which
progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of Conception,
Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Production/Implementation, and Maintenance.
(Wikipedia: Waterfall model)

Proposal Presentation Goal
Enable user to customize sizing of a product
based on the given template before printing it
by 3D printer.
Connecting a user interface based on HTML,
export the data to CAD s/w, and enable it to
produce relevant STEP and STL file for 3D
printing purpose
Enable user to view the design in 3D preview

Product:
Simple table lamp (current target)


Our Focus:
Customizable sizing
parameter: height,
width, diameter
Lamp cover design
personalization:
a. Color
b. Picture
Provide 3D Preview

Revised Goal
Web based implementation
Parameter input using HTML5 & ASP, saved in internal server in .txt format
Input file is parsed and fed to the CAD s/w by using related API
Drawing modification in server using API of CAD system and saving for downloading
purpose of users
Save the model in various format (.stl, .stp, .x3d)

Achieved objective: The Web
development
Additional goal:
Embedding a 3D

Deployed
into an
internal
server
Integrating
HTML5, ASP,
and SQL
Saving user input
in .txt format
readable by the
CAD s/w API into
a remote server
Discussion: Choice of CAD Systems
CAD with
simpler API
Easy embedding
options
Cloud CAD
system
Possible CAD
system options
Google sketchup
Autodesk Inventor
Additional Goals
Embedding STEP or STL viewer on the web for visualization
Adding more customizable product
