Product Form Design

Based on the theory of PLC, a new method of form design is draw up to be “PLC analysis - Progress choose - Morphological characteristics –Product form design”, by considering the multiple relevant processes in all stages of PLC, to achieve the full unity of the form and processes, which varied from the traditional thinking mode of product design concentrating on product manufacturing process only. Then the design of motor oil container was done with the implement of new method.

Product Form Design

This paper presents a multi-response optimization method that uses the grey-based Taguchi method as the integrative product form design optimization method, and it serves as a tool for product form design to determine the optimal combination of design parameters in Kansei engineering (KE). This method is unique in that it combines the Taguchi method (TM) and grey relational analysis (GRA), allowing it to take advantage of the benefits of both methods. The TM is used to design experiments and generate combinative product form design samples which can be used to improve product quality. The GRA is applied to multi-response optimization problems. Factor effect analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are used to determine which combinations of design parameters will result in the optimal product design. To demonstrate the applicability of the grey-based TM, a case study of a car form design is presented, and a confirmation test is performed to verify the performance of the optimal product design. The results show that the grey-based TM can deal with optimization problems with multiple Kansei responses and determine an optimal car form design that is representative of the consumers' perception in a systematic manner. The confirmation test results also show that the optimal product design generated by the grey-based TM can be used to improve the overall quality of a product form.

The basic element of product form design are colors, materials and forms, the foundation of the form beauty lies in different arrangement which gives you visual impact. You must feel not only the innovation at the glance of the classic product design of Apple such as mobile phones, computers but also its unity and instantaneously. This is the perfect performance of the law Unity and Variety. This paper is presented that the unity and variety of product form design is applied in the elements of design such as colors, materials and forms which take Apple design as an example based on the basic law of form beauty principle. And it provides a theoretical basis and references for enterprise to develop a series of product and pave the way for further research.

Product Form Design

It is discussed that the symmetry principle of Gestalt is prevalent in nature and in product design. On this basis, a kind of method for form design is summed up which is guided by the symmetry principle of Gestalt. In the process of product form design, these stages need the guidance of the symmetry principle, such as function decomposition of the product, the arrangement of function modules and the configuration of function modules. In addition, it takes the vacuum cleaner as an example to show the specific application of this method.

Product Forms

This paper presents a computer-aided conceptual design system for developing product forms. The system integrates a virtual hand, which is manipulated by the designer, with deformable models representing the product forms. Designers can use gestural input and full hand pointing in the system to discover potential new ways for product form design. In the field of industrial design, styling and ergonomics are two important factors that determine a successful product design. Traditionally, designers explore possible concepts by sketching their ideas and then using clay or foam mock-ups to test them during the early phases of product design. With our deformable modeling simulation system, we provide a useful and efficient tool for industrial designers that enable to produce product form proposals efficiently without unnecessary trial and error. Designers can input pre-scanned 3D raw data or a 3D CAD model as an initial prototype. Then, the input model is given the material’s elastic property via the construction of a volume-like mass-spring-damping system. The virtual hand in the system constantly changes gestures as the designer manipulates it with a glove-based input device. The product form will be deformed or shaped according to the amount of force exerted by the virtual hand. A mesh smoothing feature called “PN-triangle” is also used to improve the appearance of the deformed model. Finally, a physical prototype with volume and weight is generated using a rapid prototyping machine. Designers can use these mock-ups to conduct further ergonomic evaluations.

Product Form Design

Design mode of product form is constructed combining Kansei Engineering (KE) with Ergonomics. KE is used as main technique to transform consumers' feelings and images of shape, size, material, operability of product into design form futures. The main factors and problems of Kansei experiment and Kansei analysis are also identified.Ergonomics acts as the assisting technique for meeting physiological criteria of consumer group. An implement of a product form design was conducted, and then the feasibility of proposed design mode based on KE is discussed which provides related products’ reference to designers.
