Abstract
Design with X is a method what can be used in design education for shortening course or improving quality of product design. Saving time is reached by avoiding irrelevance product concepts or design. The designer learns to focus on the design task with method. He is looking in an early stage of the design process to material, manufacturing process or geometry. Embodiment design is the base for Design with X and opens new insights for an efficient design process. The used work method is not forced but strongly advised. The results of two projects give insight how the quality improvement is achieved by using Design with Material and Design with Manufacturing.
