User Centered

This chapter investigates the knowledge regarding how user-centered design can be achieved during ceramic product development with the aid of computer-aided ceramic design. The chapter gives the general overview of ceramics, computer-aided design, and its application in ceramic product development. It also illuminates on product emotion, its influence on consumers' behaviour, and how it can be integrated into new products. With reference to desire emotion, the chapter elaborates on the determining factors and the resulting appraisal that will elicit the desire emotion. Furthermore, it analyses the systematic approach in building user-centred design in new products. Based on this understanding, a study is described where a newly developed mug design and a multi-functional ceramic pot were tested to know emotive responses of people towards the products. The results from the study show some interesting findings by demonstrating the theories in practice and also reveal the viability of computer-aided design as a tool for building user-centered design.

This paper investigates the knowledge regarding how user-centre design can be built in ceramic consumer products. The paper gives the general overview of ceramics, computer-aided design and its application in ceramic product development. It also illuminates on product emotion, its influence on consumers’ behaviour and how it can be integrated into new product conceptualization. Furthermore, the paper analysed the systematic approach in building user-centred design in new product and also reveals how CAD can be used to achieve a user-centred design. In order to test the viability of CAD in achieving user-centred design, a study was performed where a CAD-model of a multi-functional ceramic pot was created and a questionnaire with the image (CAD model) and eight emotions was given to participants so as to know their emotional responses toward the product. The result from the study reveals the viability of computer aided design as tool for building user-centred design in consumer ceramics’ product development.

Aided Design

This article analyses the need and benefit of the working of industrial designers and product engineers together. According to engineers and others at the forefront of product development, to do the job right requires a collaboration involving design engineers, industrial designers, manufacturing engineers, and several other players, like marketing people, all of whom have important knowledge that needs to influence a design. Companies such as Trek Bicycle Corp. and Empire Level Manufacturing Corp. have developed practices that foster innovative, human-centered product development. Experts agree that computer-aided design (CAD) and rapid prototyping applications are the two most helpful systems, even though the two types of designers may use the tools in somewhat several ways. According to Rainer Gawlick, vice president of marketing at SolidWorks in Concord, Massachusetts, current CAD systems can help bridge the design-to-engineering-to-manufacturing gap.

This paper describes three approaches for virtual product development of plastic injection moulds. The first is characterized by the use of three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) for product design, two-dimensional drafting for mould design and three-dimensional computer aided design/manufacture (CAD/CAM) for mould manufacture. The second is characterized by the use of three-dimensional CAD models by all three participants, but between any two participants some form of file conversion is normally required because different CAD systems are used. The first two approaches share one common feature: the models are passed serially from the product designer to the mould designer and on to the toolmaker. They represent current practice in industry. The third approach is a proposed collaborative design process. Participants can work concurrently on the same model, sharing their knowledge and experience. The process is currently being refined and will be validated later this year with a prototype system based on Unigraphics iMAN software.

PurposeThe weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric has the characteristics of complicated design principle and hard technical design. The purpose of this paper is to realize the computer-aided design of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric, and provide a certain reference for the development of this type of fabric.Design/methodology/approachThe weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric is divided into weft-knitted two-side similar pattern jacquard fabric and weft-knitted two-side independent pattern jacquard fabric. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, firstly, the structural characteristic of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric is analyzed. Then, the design principle of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric is studied. Next, the technical model of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric is established. Finally, the CAD flow chart of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric is proposed to realize the rapid product development.FindingsBased on the above method, through the development example of weft two-side similar pattern jacquard fabric and weft two-side independent pattern jacquard fabric, the computer-aided design of the weft two-side jacquard fabric is verified.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of limited research studies, three-dimensional computer-aided design of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric loop structure will be studied in the further research, and the technical design speed needs to be improved to meet the needs of large patterns and positioning patterns.Practical implicationsThe computer-aided design of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric will offer a certain reference for product development, technical principles, performance research and computer simulation for the in-depth study of the fabric.Social implicationsThe computer-aided design of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric will simplify the fabric design process and improve the efficiency of new fabric development, and provide the industries a time-saving and cost-saving approach for new fabrics development.Originality/valueThe author analyzes the structural characteristic of the fabric by the physical fabric, summarizes design principle of the fabric through production process, uses mathematical methods to establish a three-dimensional technical model of the fabric, and proposes the CAD flow chart of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric, which has good theoretical significance and practice of weft-knitted two-side jacquard fabric.
