Dynash Home

Dynash is part of the academic research programme at the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering of the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Dynash (Dynamic Shape Advancement) started on January 1. 2003 and is completed on December 31, 2007.

Aim: To provide better design tools to engineers, designers and stylists and to overcome some of the severe limitations of present CAD systems and conceptual design/styling tools.

Philosophy: Take real-life situations in product design as a starting point of research. Analyze the current drawbacks in industrial practice, propose solutions and evaluate these in collaboration with the actual users from industry.
