Which way now?

Article Abstract:

The furniture industry in the UK has suffered from the recession, and there is little to encourage the replacement of office furniture at this time. There has been a 40% fall in the market in 1991 and exports are only 500,000,000 pounds sterling, compared to imports of 1 billion pounds sterling. There is expected to be a continuing fall in office staff up to 1994-95, with a return to the 1990 level by the end of the 90s. Production figures for 1983-1990 are included.

Relief work: a new Cad package which allows 3D decorative reliefs to be created from 2D line artwork could have important implications for packaging design

Article Abstract:

A new computer aided design software package, Artcam, has been developed by Delcam, which allows a user to produce a three dimensional computer model of a relief directly from two dimensional art work. The advantages this offers are that there is no need for a skilled engraver and therefore his influence on the design would be eliminated. The software needs a Unix based host and a complete system, including Duct Machinst would cost about 20,000 pounds sterling.
