Abstract
Concept/basic design plays an important role to produce industrial products coping with diversification of customer's preference. This paper describes digital support systems for the concept/basic design processes which can shorten the lead time of a product and expand designer's ideas. One is a system to automatically generate candidate solutions for the design from concept which is expressed by natural language so called Kansei Words. Second one is a system using mixed reality technology to evaluate designability and operability without making prototypes. And other three systems for supporting design processes are also introduced in outline.
