Features: This book introduces a comprehensive design methodology that covers all aspects of product development. It delves deeply into topics such as market demand, the generation and realization of product concepts, competitive product analysis, and the integration of design and engineering. With numerous examples, it focuses 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 creativity and problem-solving skills, gain a thorough and in-depth understanding of product development, and benefit greatly.
This book presents a fully developed design methodology that encompasses all areas 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 illustrates new design theories and methods such as reverse design and re-design with extensive examples. This methodology originates from numerous industrial case studies, with a focus on product design and the composition of design elements. Starting with the assignment of a design task, a functional model that meets design specifications is established. Throughout the design process, this functional model serves as the foundation, ensuring that specifications are implemented at every step. This enables designers to creatively and effectively solve product development challenges while maintaining profitability.
