Furniture Design Method Based on CAD Technology

In order to promote the level of industrialization, standardization and flexibility of furniture industry, in this paper, we proposed a novel furniture design method using the CAD technology. The CAD design for furniture is made up of three views: 1) main view, 2) top view and 3) left view. As the 3D information is transformed by the projection and depth information may be lost in the 2D display surface, we exploit the hidden technology in furniture design. Next, we illustrate the program process of automatic assembly drawing in furniture design. Furthermore, we propose some examples of furniture design with three different views. From the given examples, it can be observed that the proposed CAD based furniture design can provide satisfactory results for designers.
