What is the relationship between industrial design and product manufacturing?

The relationship between industrial design and product manufacturing;

Industrial design is a new interdisciplinary subject that finally formed in the modern industrial period, involving technology and art. As a modern design theory and method, its research content not only includes product function, structure, materials, manufacturing technology, product modeling, color, surface treatment, decoration technology and so on. It also includes social, economic, physiological and psychological factors related to the product. It comprehensively uses the basic theories and means of modern design, so that modern industrial products can bring users efficient, comfortable and beautiful feelings as much as possible, and fully meet people's material and spiritual needs.

Industrial design is different from traditional engineering design, because it fully considers the improvement of product structure and performance index, and at the same time, it must fully consider various factors related to product and society, product and market, product and human physiology and psychology; It is different from ordinary art design because it not only emphasizes the artistic form of modern industrial products, but also emphasizes the economic value of the unity of product form and function, product form and production. Therefore, industrial modeling design is a creative activity of organic unity of science and technology, aesthetic art and market economy.

Manufacturing is the process of transforming raw materials and information into various items to meet human needs. From this definition, we can see that the manufacturing industry should not only transform raw materials, but also transform a large amount of information into commodities that everyone needs, especially since the rapid development of the Internet in the early 1990s, information has played an increasingly important role in the manufacturing industry.

Because the source of the manufacturing system comes from the user's demand, from the user's demand to the function to the physical field of the whole product, such as the production of a computer, some hardware and shapes need to be designed, so the manufacturing process of the product is basically divided into four fields:

The first is the user field, starting with understanding the needs of users; The second is the functional field, that is, from the needs of users to what functions products need to provide; The third is the physical field, that is, how to realize the function of the product through some software and hardware; Finally, the process, that is, how to assemble software and hardware through manufacturing to provide more perfect products.

Industrial design and industrial manufacturing are complementary and inseparable. First of all, industrial design is the leading industry in manufacturing development. Industrial design is a design for manufacturing industrial products, including the whole process of product external and internal design, which has the most direct influence on product appearance and performance, production technology and brand building. The practice in developed countries shows that industrial design has become the source and one of the core driving forces of manufacturing competition. Especially with the deepening of economic globalization and fierce competition in the international market, the international competitiveness of products will first depend on the design and development capabilities of products.

The level of industrial design innovation directly affects the level of technological innovation, and good design creativity can greatly promote the development of technological innovation in enterprises; Industrial design is the leader in the development of manufacturing industry. Because of the core position and key role of industrial design in manufacturing industry, countries all over the world often regard it as a leader in the process of developing manufacturing industry, and promote the development of the whole manufacturing industry by accelerating the development of industrial design.

Although good design ideas can promote the development of enterprise technological innovation, there is no excellent industrial design without developed manufacturing industry. Because industrial technology is the functional basis of design, good industrial design depends on functional technology. Take the car as an example. Imported cars look much better than domestic cars. Why? It is because the domestic production technology can not reach, designers can make beautiful design schemes, but without technology, everything is empty talk, such as the smoothness requirements of A surface, integrated molding, some beautiful faded surfaces and so on.

Industrial design plays a guiding role in product manufacturing, which can guide manufacturing technology to be more suitable for man-machine care and develop in the direction of producing better products.

Now, in addition to designing products, manufacturing plants also need to design production processes. In the past, people who designed products often didn't cooperate with people who designed processes, which usually led to serious problems in the manufacturing process. Now, the more popular trend is to combine product design with process design. When designing products, we should not only consider customers, but also consider the difficulty of manufacturing. If you have made a very good product,

It is very difficult in technology, which will greatly increase the manufacturing cost, and the product may not meet the market after launch.

Demand. The combination of product design and process design makes product manufacturing easier and more economical.

Therefore, the combination of product design and process design (DFM) should take product design as the first step of manufacturing process design, and product design must start from the perspective of "easy manufacturing" and "economical manufacturing".
