title = "Digital free-hand sketching in 3D - A tool for early design phases",
abstract = "Today's CAD systems do not support the creative process of concept development sufficiently. Many designers support themselves with classical handmade sketches before and also during the work with CAD. Sketches can illustrate abstract, indistinct and incomplete information, which corresponds to the mental model of creative thinking. In contrast, modern CAD systems offer the possibility to generate and manipulate three-dimensional objects. In order to unite the advantages of handmade sketches and 3D-CAD in one system, a first prototype of a digital sketching tool was developed. Using Virtual Reality technologies this tool enables an intuitive, creative sketching in 3D. First experiences with the system supply numerous suggestions for advancement, as well as for the integration of the sketching tool into future CAD systems.",
