PROJECT GOALS AND RESULTS


The FIORES project aims at simplifying the achievement of the desired shape in surface quality and aesthetic character. The ever-present trial and error loops of a groping approach are to be replaced by a straight-forward target driven design.

The approach can be described by the term engineering in reverse (EiR). Generally spoken, EiR stands for the process of generating a model according to its desired properties. There is usually no unique mapping between model and properties, so that the process in the end contains an optimization loop which refines the initial model until it is as close to the wanted properties as possible.
