  Abstract/
Summary
In a collaborative product design environment, it is necessary to exchange CAD models including design intentions in order to cope with frequent engineering changes and interfacing problems among components coming from part suppliers. However, only the final geometry of the manufactured part is provided in a B-rep. format, because the design information, including inter-relationships and dependencies, is regarded as the company's intellectual property. Such conditions decrease the efficiency of the collaborative product design process. In this study, a method to secure the company's intellectual property while allowing the sharing of substantial information as required in a collaborative product design process is proposed.
