Features: This book introduces a comprehensive design methodology covering all aspects of product development. It delves deeply into multiple areas, including market demand, the generation and realization of product concepts, competitive product analysis, and the integration of design and engineering. With numerous examples, the book centers on the application of functional models and introduces innovative theories and methods such as reverse design and re-design. Through this book, design students, engineers, and designers will enhance their innovative problem-solving skills and creativity, gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of product development, and benefit greatly. The main features of this book are:
- Using reverse engineering and product disassembly as fundamental methods, it provides excellent examples of design construction and forms a modern learning approach based on continuous cycles of experience, hypothesis, understanding, and implementation.
- Analyzing and studying ordinary product cases.
- Applying modern new technologies.
- Researching systematic experimental methods.
- Exploring the marginal areas of design methods.
- Discussing decision-making issues in actual product development.
- Exploring the fundamental content of product design, including the principles of learning and executing product design methods.
- Discussing basic and advanced technologies for product development at different stages in each chapter.
This book introduces a design methodology that has been fully constructed. This methodology covers all aspects of product development, including the exploration of market demand, the generation and realization of concepts, the analysis of competitors, and the integration of design and engineering. It elaborates on new design theories and methods such as reverse design and re-design through numerous examples. This methodology originates from many industrial implementations, with a research focus on product design and the composition of design elements. Starting with a design task, a functional model that meets design specifications is established. Throughout the design process, this functional model serves as the foundation, with specifications implemented in every step of the design. This enables designers to creatively and effectively solve product development problems while ensuring profitability.
