This study extends the new product development (NPD) to a new field; Market Driving Digital New Product Development Method is addressed in this paper, which is based on reverse engineering and rapid prototyping technology. This study finds that the higher the effort on marketing-R&D process, the less possible it might encounter risk. Thus, a better NPD performance can be achieved by market driving Digital NPD method (MDDNPD).A case study of All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) is used to illustrate the new method. We believe that the proposed methodology will have a positive impact on the future new product development.

The structure of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) reactor was analyzed and improved by Reverse Engineering (RE) and Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology. Points cloud data of MFC reactor was accessed by hand-held laser scanner. The space surface and entity model were reconstructed accurately, and the structure of the reactor was optimized based on Imageware and Solidworks software. The reactor model was manufactured by RP machine. The optimization efficiency of MFC reactor was improved based on the combination of RE and RP, which has a good reference value for the development of MFC technology and products.

Emotional responses to materials and manufactured objects have a long history but provoked vivid writing during the design reform debates of the nineteenth century and were carried forward into the twentieth century. In particular, nineteenth-century anxieties about plasticity and about composite materials are still with us. Wood continues to represent sustainability, ‘truth to materials’, emotional durability and an assumed reassuring contact between material, tools and maker. By contrast, the facture offered by new media, in the form of self-replicating rapid prototyping machines, appears disembodied while also offering the possibility of homesteader-making. The desirability of recycling and up-cycling is currently central to our emotional responses to materials, with the world’s waste dumps becoming sites of horrified fascination and inspiration. Symbolic moves in the direction of autarchy and reverse engineering by artists and designers register doubts about sustainability and seek to uncover the hidden impact of individual materials. This survey of historic and current attitudes towards materials and making processes by makers, artists and designers sheds light on anxieties familiar to us all, concerning technological development, authentic experience, agency, a sense of selfhood and the often bruising experience of modernity itself.
