Steps in
embodiment design
Embodiment design is the part of
design process in which, starting from
the principle solution or concept of a
technical product, the design is
developed in accordance with technical
and economic criteria to the point
where subsequent detail design can
lead directly to production.
The definitive layout must be fully
developed so that a clear check of
function, durability, production,
assembly, operation and costs can be
carried out.
Only when this has been done is it
possible to prepare the final production
documents.

Product documentation


Sketches – Conceptual design
Assembly Drawings – Embodiment design
» Each component is clearly represented and
identified in the list of references
» Detailed views are included as necessary
» Each component is calculated and validated

Detail Drawings – Detail design
» Complete manufacturing drawings with
dimensions, tolerances, material selection and
manufacturing details
15
Ahmed Kovacevic, City University London
Design for X

Design for manufacturing – minimising:
» cost of production, time to market
» high quality standards

Design for assembly
» heduced number of parts, ease of assembly

Design for environment
» Legislation, disposal, cost
