Abstract :
Rapid and automatic growth of organisms is so fascinating and becomes one of the reasons why comes the idea of Product Gene. The similar relations between organism and product can be proposed: Gene in biology rarrProduct Gene, RNA rarrConceptual Architecture, Protein rarrSolid Product Element, Cell rarrPart or component, and Organism rarrProduct. Then Product Gene´s new concept, essential features and corresponding data structure based on Function Surface in the Growth Design are put forward. Product Gene can be defined as an integrated set of information specifying product´s structures and functions and its mechanisms to ´grow´ automatically. Finally, an example of GUNZI fixture based on Product Gene with the application of Product Growth Design platform DARFAD system is introduced. The conclusion can be drawn that Product Gene is promising for new generation of CAD systems with both high efficiency and innovative ability.
