New products development is a highly complex activity, where applying methodologies and tools to support the engineering design process is fundamental in conducting the numerous activities between the phases involved. The conceptual design phase is a critical moment for product success, where access to the existingdesign knowledgeand the prior experience of the designer are the basis for building the creative process. Thus, the Design-by-Analogy (DbA) field isa design approach that uses analogousprocesses to stimulate ideas generation seeking innovative solutions through computational techniques and tools. In this context, this article aims to propose a model forasoftware developmentbased on DbA techniques to stimulate and assist designers during project process. To fulfill this objective, literature review and existing state of the art DbA software survey establish the knowledge bases for this study. Given extracted information from these sources, analysis criteria were defined for the existing software quality characteristics evaluation. This, combined a set of desirable characteristics to establish the requirements that guided theelaboration of theproposed model, specifying its components and structure. Theresult of this paper is the model proposal, where combining existing techniques and new components that explore alternative paths will promote advances in DbA field. This model will guide the development of a softwareto aid and stimulate the conceptual phase of the project, allowing the registration of the knowledge generated during the development of projects so that they can be reused in future projects, adds new possibilities giving continuity to the studies in digital tools to support the engineering design process.

The aim of this paper is to disclose the new research developments and the results from the systematization of experience and user interaction with the Inspaedia (a new web knowledge " Agora "), to inspire a dynamic, collaborative, and interactive intelligence among the inspaediers. We will explain in detail and describe the design process and discuss the ultimate design interaction concept and development regarding (almost everything about) simplicity and playfulness of the inspaediers' experience to transform relevant information (related > mean-full > useful) in productive knowledge (inspiration > insight > foresight) in a very easy and quick way (usability: learnability; understandability; operability; attrac-tiveness…), with a smile in the face (satisfaction) and a wow in the mind (or in the soul).

O presente artigo traz reflexões sobre como o projeto de moda pode ser pensado com o viés da sustentabilidade ambiental, contemplando alguns conceitos e ações do setor têxtil e de confecção. Foi realizada uma simulação de produção de um modelo de blusa feminina levando em consideração os conceitos de redução de resíduo na fonte por meio de modificações simples no produto. Desta forma, foram elaborados os desenhos, modelagens, encaixes e cálculos de tecidos e mão de obra para que fossem comparados os custos de produção e de geração de resíduos têxteis em cada um dos modelos. Os resultados mostram que as modificações reduziram consideravelmente a quantidade de resíduos na etapa de corte de tecidos, embora tenham acarretado no aumento dos custos com mão de obra.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the feasibility of parameterization of custom basic molds, eliminating the need for making a mold for each user. This method uses the three-dimensional scanning to obtain the anthropometric measurements, and the user’s body silhouette and parameterize these measures, causing the production of a single basic mold is necessary to meet users with different anthropometric characteristics. A low-cost 3D scanner was used, Microsoft Kinect, to obtain the 3D model of the user’s body and the Grasshopper modeling algorithm for setting the mold. Thus, a research participant was scanned and, from your 3D model, anthropometric measurements were obtained for setting the mold. The final model was built and experienced by the participant for validation purposes. The results were satisfactory in showing high precision in anthropometric model produced. Thus, the study addressed brings important contribution to the development of products for clothing in areas as they provide flexibility in the basic mold production process and product measurements with high accuracy and hence increase the degree of comfort for the user.
