This project addresses the digital visualization gap faced by industrial design students, especially those from non-technical backgrounds, who excel in physical prototyping and sketching but struggle with advanced CAD modeling. The research introduces a hybrid educational approach combining traditional craftsmanship with emerging technologies like AI-powered visualization and 3D scanning. By reducing software anxiety and expanding access to digital tools, the initiative empowers students to communicate complex ideas more effectively, refine designs iteratively, and elevate their professional portfolios. The work bridges legacy prototyping practices with future-focused digital fluency, aligning directly with the theme “Where Legacy Meets Future.”

For 60 years, the Industrial Designers Society of America has worked to advance the practice of industrial design through education, information, community, and advocacy. Our roots stretch to the beginning of the profession, and our members are, and have been, some of the most celebrated industrial designers of all time. Today, we exist as a global voice for industrial design within a broad ecosystem of design disciplines and we celebrate the cross-functional overlap of many creative fields.
