This is followed by an illustration of collaborative design work using a A360 cloud platform. The following section provide background on collaborative design education, software and hardware to support collaborative design. In this chapter, the authors illustrate a collaborative work and 3D printing in design education. If clay modeling is replaced with 3D printing, the design process time will be shortened. In addition, in the automobile design, modelers model a real-size prototype out of clay, which is called clay modeling (Yamada, 1993). Therefore, collaborative design education is necessary for students’ future careers. Automobile design is not only shared with designers but also with engineers under CE. CE is a method of integration for designing and developing products (Andersen, 2004 Sapuan & Mansor, 2014). Also, concurrent engineering (CE) is popular in manufacturing companies. For example, automobile design involves teamwork each designer contributes from his or her experienced knowledge base. However, real product design requires collaborative work. Usually, at the CST, each student learns 2D and 3D design using CAD software individually in these classes. Similarly, electrical engineering students learn the basic concept of design of electrical installation for residential and commercial buildings (Muramatsu & Wangmo, 2017). Also, at the same institution, civil engineering students learn design and construction of facilities such as buildings and bridges in the second year of the four-year course. For example, all first-year students learn 2D and 3D modeling using AutoCAD as 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software at the College of Science and Technology (CST), Royal University of Bhutan (RUB). Design education is important at universities and colleges for engineering and technology (Sheppard & Jeniso, 1997 Dym, Agogino, Eris, Frey, & Leifer, 2005).
