Product Design Process

AbstractThis paper discusses the issues involved with creating a Tangible Augmented Reality representation of a product so that it can be effectively and validly used to support the product design process. The development of a TAR representation entails building the physical model of the product, a digital model of the product, and developing interactions between the digital and physical representations. Different products have different user interactions, which makes developing TAR representation for products challenging since a new interaction needs to be mimicked. Challenges of developing TAR representations are discussed by investigating TAR representations of four consumer products: a space heater, a MP3 player, an electric can opener, and a seat assist cushion. The goal of TAR representations is to not only communicate the functionality of a product but also to improve the time efficiency of prototyping of physical products. Hence, having a good understanding of the user interactions that need to be developed and planning the representation for construction in the modeling software and AR software is crucial to making the process of developing a TAR representation efficient.

Product Design Process

With the rapid development of science and technology and the emergence of new technologies, the speed of product upgrading has accelerated, and the life cycle has been significantly shortened, leading to increasingly fierce market competition. Through the analysis of the enterprise product development process, combined with CAD-based product rapid design technology and parametric design technology, this paper proposes a product configuration editor based on three-dimensional software with a visual interface, and combines it with the PDM system. A software system that can be applied to actual product development is formed. Finally, the feasibility of a vehicle steering gear product design process is proved in practice. The research of this article mainly has the following two aspects of academic significance: this article describes the process of product development and design by enterprises under the mass customization production mode. After analyzing the application of CAD technology in the product design process, we studied how to use advanced design knowledge to combine specific three-dimensional CAD software for rapid product design, which can guide manufacturing companies to better carry out product design work. It is proposed to improve and perfect the initial configuration results of products in a specific three-dimensional design environment, and it can communicate with data management systems such as PDM. The configuration results can be edited and modified in the 3D design environment, and when specific parts need to be modified and designed, the parametric module embedded in the 3D design software can be used to design directly, avoiding multiple heterogeneous systems switching back and forth between, shorten the development cycle. In addition, for enterprises, the research in this article is also of great application significance.

Product Design Process

Current trends in product development process highlight the increasing adoption of digital data and virtual processes. Nowadays, a huge amount of product data are collected without a clear management strategy and, oftentimes, they dont even cover the whole product development process. A global and integrated planning about information needed to sustain product design process is not a trivial task and, usually, companies underrates this issue. From the perspective of virtualization of processes, and then their automation, the lack of structured knowledge is certainly awful. This paper aims at making a critical analysis how product data evolve throughout the product design or configuration process and how they impact the product development activities. Efficient digital product twin allows companies to virtualize processes and leverage their automation, but it is important to understand how the knowledge management should be carried out. Three case studies, directly experienced by the authors, have been investigated analyzing digital data and virtual tools that allow companies to automate the design process, each one bringing a peculiar perspective of the problem.

Product Design Process

Computer aided design (CAD) systems as visualization tools play a vital role for designers in product design process. However, these systems itself become insufficient to achieve 3D interaction with virtual models. Virtual Reality provides alternative solutions to this problem, hence its maximum requirements and high cost makes the use of it in design process unpopular. Hence, Augmented Reality, defined as mixture of reality and virtuality and combining 3D virtual object with real environment, presents many advantages for product design process as a new technology. It allows the designers to display and modify modify the virtual model in real-time and have a 3D interactive experience with the virtual model in a real environment. This study aims to analyze in which stages, in what way and for which product groups AR would be used in product design process, and to understand the role of these applications on the perception of actual dimension and product-space relationship, the quality of evaluation and the amount of evaluation time. For this purpose, an interview study was conducted with nine designers from three different sectors that are design, interior design and furniture. The results have shown that if the AR applications are developed in parallel with firms’ requirements, they could integrate and use them in design process more efficiently.Keywords: Augmented reality, visualization tool, product design process, 3D interaction, product-space relationship

As a consequence of an increasing complexity of products using procedures a human-centered-design process is more and more important. This thesis can be based on the success of user friendly products on market but also by looking at new regulations concerning human-centered design (e.g. pr EN-ISO 13407). Within an user-centered design process there is a need for a continuos balancing between interests of users and producers. This mediating role can be fulfilled by persons with an ergonomic background. The potentiality of ergonomic for the initialization, accompaniment and evaluation of an user-centered design process was demonstrated within the product development of a new electronic pipette.

The Right

Creativity can be viewed as a chaotic or unplanned activity. The product design process often may seem like chaos as well, but this is not inevitable. Designers and human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) professionals follow a clear design process with phases, levels, and methods for creation of successful new products. Research methods are offered at the right time during this process to generate new concepts and to evaluate designs. We work together to create innovative, valued, and successful products via a generative, iterative, evaluative process.

Abstract Most designers do not consider ergonomic guidelines in designing consumer products. Also, very little attention is generally paid to user needs and preferences. It is imperative that consumer products be designed keeping in mind the human capabilities and limitations. Such considerations in the product design process are necessary since the market is becoming competitive and users more picky. The purpose of this paper is to consider the implications of ergonomic design guidelines on consumer product design, its manufacturing, and associated costs. A Linear Programming model is also developed to assist designers in the product design process.

Product Design Process

To shorten product development lifecycles for machined powertrain components, it is necessary to develop technologies around integrated product design, process planning and system design. This integration should enable information once created to be readily available across all activities of the lifecycle. A key to achieving this is the creation of an information model for capturing and relating this information. This model should be comprehensive and easily navigable to enable, for instance, manufacturing engineers to trace tasks on the stations in a machining line to specific surfaces on in-process states of the workpiece. Also of importance are strategies that specify how instances of this model are created and how it is to be maintained. This paper presents information models created specifically for powertrain machining. These models have been implemented as a database within a framework for integrated product design, process planning and system design. An XML (eXtensible Markup Language) application based on the model has also been developed to standardize interfaces and facilitate communication within product development teams and with suppliers.

AbstractA design problem with deficient information is generally described as wicked or ill-defined. The information insufficiency leaves designers with loose settings, free environments, and a lack of strict boundaries, which provides them with more opportunities to facilitate innovation. Therefore, to capture the opportunity behind the uncertainty of a design problem, this study models an innovative design as a composite solving process, where the problem is clarified and resolved from fuzziness to satisfying solutions by interplay among design problems, knowledge, and solutions. Additionally, a triple-helix structured model for the innovative product design process is proposed based on the co-evolution of the problem, solution, and knowledge spaces, to provide designers with a distinct design strategy and method for innovative design. The three spaces interact and co-evolve through iterative mappings, including problem structuring, knowledge expansion, and solution generation. The mappings carry the information processing and decision-making activities of the design, and create the path to satisfying solutions. Finally, a case study of a reactor coolant flow distribution device is presented to demonstrate the practicability of this model and the method for innovative product design.
