Features: Design begins with the idea and the formation of design concepts. As the specific design solution is developed and refined, it reaches the stage where design passion truly shines. Various techniques are employed, blending the sparks of rationality and sensibility, and embodying the material spirit of continuity and innovation. From the original bud to the expression of the outcome, model representation plays a crucial role in realizing the value and significance of the design. Model representation is a vital stage for further refining design concepts, deepening expression, and coordinating the overall creative vision through various materials, processes, production methods, and techniques. The refinement of ideas, the detailed rendering of form structures, the tangible experience of human-machine relationships, the comprehensive validation of integrated functions, and the optimization and comparison of presentation styles—all are reflected in this stage. The expressive essence of design is made more authentic and moving at this point. The writing of this book stems from a passionate dedication to this work, aiming to systematize the fundamental principles, knowledge, and skills in this field and contribute modestly to the rapid development of modern design education. Based on over a decade of experience in teaching product model design and practical design projects, we have compiled and enriched this book. It revolves around product model representation as its core, while also including conventional knowledge and techniques related to environmental design models in some chapters. Due to limited expertise and time constraints, we always felt there was room for improvement when completing this manuscript. We hope that colleagues and students can build upon these humble efforts to create something extraordinary. May we, through our shared responsibility in this work, jointly advance the rapid development of design education in our country. This textbook covers seven chapters, including the concept of model design, material selection and tools, requirements for model representation, material expression techniques, surface decoration techniques, and rapid prototyping technology.
