- Interdisciplinary Relationship between Designer and Craftsman Based on Integrated Craft Manufacturing SystemsPublication . Alexandre, Carlos; Gomez, E. A.; Valente, A. C.This paper aims to explore mechanisms that allow the establishment of a sustainable basis between designers and craftsmen in the context of their joint collaboration, to enable the revitalization and upgrading of the craft manufacturing processes through technological resources and concepts implemented in the industry focused on CAX (Computer Aided Technologies).The objective is to contribute to the project development and to its previous analysis before starting the production. In this regard, pilot projects have been developed between designers of the Design course of the University of Madeira and students of the Craft course in wicker, specialized in furniture, promoted and taught by IVBAM (Wine Embroidery and Crafts Institute, Madeira). This project attempts to address new development strategies through the application of design methodologies and the use of CAD (Computer Aided Design) technology in the craft manufacturing process, aiming at optimising processes and at providing craftsman with resources that allow them to upgrade and improve their production systems.
