This paper describes a system called styling CAD for an industrial design in which a stylist can intuitively make solid model data and can collaborate with other designers. The key components of its hardware are a special input device with which a stylist can directly manipulate a surface of a virtual object as he/she manipulates a clay model. The software consists of a graphical viewer for displaying an object in 3-D, a data transferring with a solid modeler for producing solid model data, and a communication interface for transferring data to other systems for engineering and manufacturing. Using this technology, a powerful design environment which supports a design process from beginning to end can be realize. A preliminary prototype environment for a non-spherical lens design is mentioned as an example.
