Abstract
A method for mass-customizing and assembling multi-component articles includes the steps of choosing the article and selecting the components attachable to the three-dimensional structure of the article, searching a database of constituent components that permits a consumer to choose the desired constituent component (s) compatible with a consumer's previously selected components and combining the attributes of the constituent components to determine performance attributes of multi-component combinations.
Claims30
A method for mass-customizing and assembling multi-component articles for a consumer, said method comprising the steps of:
- choosing a multiple component article to be assembled;
- selecting constituent components adaptable to said multi-component article, wherein said constituent component is attachable to the three-dimensional structure of said multi-component article;
