An REAL-TIME PARAMETRIC CAD FRAMEWORK FOR CUSTOMIZABLE FURNITURE

Abstract

Algorithmic and computer-aided product development have transformed manufacturing workflows by enabling the rapid generation of accurate 3D models through parametric and rule-based methods. Such approaches support mass customization, reduce design time, and improve product consistency. In the furniture sector, CAD-driven processes have enhanced functional performance and production efficiency; however, manual modeling of customized interior components remains labor-intensive and prone to design inconsistencies. This study proposes a real-time parametric CAD framework for the automated design and configuration of modular kitchen-island furniture. The system integrates user-defined dimensions, functional constraints, and module selection through an interactive configuration interface, while automatically generating three-dimensional part models, assemblies, and manufacturing-ready 2D technical drawings. In contrast to existing rule-based or parametric kitchen design systems that primarily address geometric modeling or layout configuration, the proposed framework supports real-time user-driven parametrization and automated generation of manufacturing-related outputs, directly linking design configuration with fabrication-oriented deliverables within a unified CAD environment. Additional outputs, including photorealistic renderings and a complete Bill of Materials (BOM), support decision-making throughout the production workflow. The automated process improves dimensional accuracy, reduces repetitive modeling tasks, and ensures consistency across customized product variants, demonstrating the potential of CAD-based automation for mass-customizable furniture manufacturing.
