The same product will have different styles from different regions. For example, we often hear European, American and Asian styles. Due to different customs and habits, the design will also vary due to cultural differences. Because the Japanese traditional is kneeling, like Hitachi’s vertical air conditioner, the control panel will be relatively low, so as to facilitate the operation and meet the cultural needs of the Japanese.

2. Finding an entry point from the perspective of the enterprise

Some companies have specialized technology, some companies pay more attention to product marketing, and some companies have formed brands after years of precipitation. Different technologies need to be passed through the products; the best-selling products will gradually establish the brand; through the precipitation and accumulation of a certain brand, its brand image and characteristics will be in the minds of consumers; so the starting point of industrial Product Design can be from the following aspects: 1 .Technology, 2. Market, 3. Brand, or a combination of many aspects.

3. Finding an entry point from the perspective of people

From a human point of view, the breakthrough point is to cross national boundaries. Regardless of the region, Zunlian Industrial Design Co., Ltd. answers that designing from the actual needs of people will be more widely welcomed. Nowadays, people’s demand for products no longer stays on passive consumption. Consumers have certain decisions and ideas about what kind of products they want to buy. Every product design needs to find its entry point.

Cost is the most core part of the product. The level of cost determines the company’s profit margin to a large extent. Cost control starts from the beginning of Product Design. Zunlian Industrial Design Company should do the following aspects in terms of cost when designing product structure.

1. When selecting materials, try to use low-priced materials on the premise of satisfying functions.

2. When modeling the product shape, try to reduce the number of parts under the premise of satisfying the appearance.

3. When designing the product structure, try to simplify the structure as much as possible to save mold costs. Choose a suitable fixing method to save production and assembly costs.

4. When product surface treatment, according to product positioning and appearance requirements, adopt appropriate surface treatment methods to save processing costs.

5. Use the company’s existing materials as much as possible, and unify material specifications as much as possible, such as screw models.

2. The rationality of the structure

Product structure design is not as complicated as possible. On the contrary, under the premise of satisfying product functions, the simpler the structure, the better. The simpler structure is easier in mold making, and the simpler structure is easier in production and assembly. The fewer problems.

Take an example to illustrate: In structural design, the commonly used fixing methods are screw fixing, buckle fixing, double-sided adhesive fixing, hot melt fixing, ultrasonic welding fixing, etc. How do you need these fixing methods? Generally speaking, screw fixing is the best Reliable and detachable, it should be preferred; the hook is convenient and simple to fix, but the fixing reliability is not high, it can be combined with screws; double-sided adhesive fixing, melting and fixing are used in specific places, and they are used when necessary.

When designing the product structure, no redundant structure is allowed. The redundant structure means wasting design time, increasing the difficulty of mold processing, and wasting materials. When designing the product structure, the required structure must be made, and the dispensable structure must not be made, so that every structure must be useful, including every buckle, every stiffener, etc.

3. Simplify the mold structure as much as possible

After the product design is completed, a mold is required to form it. When designing the product, it is necessary to ensure that the product can be manufactured through the mold. The product structure design is reliable and the mold cannot be realized or is difficult to realize is an unqualified structure. As a structural engineer, you must have a certain understanding of the mold, and understand the basic structure of the mold, the molding method of the product, and the way of ejecting the mold. Only in this way can the mold structure be simplified as much as possible in the product design.

This spirit has been diluted in the trend of mechanized production. People feel that mass-produced industrial products are too cold and can satisfy functions but have no love and no inherited value. This allows industrial design to participate in the production process. Let the traditional craftsman spirit be injected into modern products through the hands of ingenuity.

Although industrial designers cannot personally visit the entire production process of the product, the original concept of the product was born from the hands of the designer. This is the motivation for us to cherish our work and strive to be responsible. In order to allow customers or leaders to be eye-catching, industrial designers often deliberate on a small detail of the plan, and if they indulge “Mr. Almost” a little bit, we will discount our confidence, let alone. Convince others. The job of an industrial designer is to carefully compare dozens of similar pantone colors for each part, and try different chamfer radii for each edge. We industrial designers don`t have the magical power to make perfect products all at once. They just can`t sit back and watch the slightest disharmony and are always polishing it. This is the so-called [artisan spirit” that seems to be magical but not work. “.

Our emphasis on product quality and product temperature has led more people to slow down their impetuous pace, study and polish. There is still a long way to go before the craftsmanship of industrial design can be successfully implemented in our lives, but it is not far away.

Due to historical development, Western development has entered the post-industrial era, and the aesthetics of industrial design tends to be retro and interesting, and they tend to pursue structural and aesthetic designs. However, China is still in the middle and late stages of industrialization, and more intelligent manufacturing is needed to promote industrialization. Therefore, industrial design tends to be more practical, and it will consider whether the designed products can bring convenience and improve benefits in real life. Promote the development of manufacturing.

Industrial design is based on market research. Only by fully understanding the needs can we design products that are welcome in the market. For the end user of industrial design, that is, the consumer, the impulse to buy often depends on whether the product has the ability to solve actual production and life problems. For industrial design manufacturers, whether a product should be put into production depends on whether the product can produce economic benefits and whether it can be mass-produced.

In summary, industrial design not only requires technological innovation, but also must follow the actual situation of industrial development in order to design products that people really need. It not only satisfies consumers’ pursuit of product practicability and interest, but also satisfies manufacturers’ pursuit of mass production and economic efficiency. This is the industrial design we really need.

1. The visual elements of product design in the design include form, size, color, etc.

2. Form is an important aspect of shaping the image of a product, and it is the most direct and important information carrier for communicating with consumers.

3. Color is the most direct and emotional visual element in product design, and it carries the function of delivering important information to users. It directly embodies the emotional story expressed in product design in product design. From the designer’s design expression to the audience’s use psychology, it can produce rich and unified design emotion-assisted product design, which can make the product more vital.

We can find that visual elements are the most direct, rapid and popular way of conveying design information. This form of design is the instinctive response of human beings to receiving external information.

People say that impression is very important. The simple and beautiful appearance determines whether the product has the desire to be purchased by customers. From the user’s point of view, consider the aesthetic trends of the user group, optimize and innovate in terms of shape, color, material, and craftsmanship, and conquer the discerning users in details.

2. Good grip

Handheld terminal, as the name suggests, must be comfortable to hold when used by hand for a long time. Therefore, the styling design should be ergonomic, thin and portable, easy to handle by hand, and through detailed humanized design and intuitive interactive interface design, the reliability, simplicity and comfort of hand-held operation should be improved.

3. Communication stability

The communication stability of the handheld terminal is manifested in two aspects. First, the communication module should be selected with good stability. Second, the antenna design and structural design of the handheld terminal must be closely matched to ensure better performance of the antenna release. In addition, handheld terminals need to be tested repeatedly in a specific environment, and continuously improved to ensure the stability of communication performance.

Four, meet the requirements of industrial protection level

Generally, the working environment of the handheld terminal is relatively harsh. If the industrial protection level of the handheld terminal is not enough, it is easy to enter water and dust. In the long run, the internal electronic components are easily damaged and the service life is greatly shortened. . Hand-held terminal design should consider the product’s use environment factors, and carry out the necessary industrial three-proof design to make the product protection level meet industry standards, such as handheld terminal industrial protection level IP54, IP65, etc., to improve the product`s environmental adaptability and reliability. Meet the industrial use environment requirements of the product.

Five, fall resistance

Shenzhen Appearance Design Co., Ltd. answered that the drop resistance of the handheld terminal is particularly important, not only to ensure the normal operation of the work, but also to extend the service life of the handheld terminal as much as possible. In the design of handheld terminals, it is necessary to ensure the drop resistance of each component and the product. For example, a silicone protective layer should be added around the handheld terminal, and an all-magnesium alloy bracket is used inside to protect the motherboard and LCD. Only the details can ensure the product’s durability and drop resistance, so as to achieve all-round protection.

1. New product project approval stage

According to the project design requirements proposed by the company or the customer, the development department, sales department, and quality control department participate in the project review meeting. To determine the feasibility of the project and the person in charge of project development, the person in charge of project development is responsible for the overall planning of the project, and also compiles the design task book, the new product cost budget table, and the design and development plan task book.

2. Design floor plan (effect drawing) stage

1. After determining the development project, the graphic design engineer will complete the graphic design renderings within one week.

2. The person in charge of the project convenes a meeting to review the renderings.

3. If problems are found during the review, promptly propose amendments and redo the renderings.

4. Make the review report.

Three, design structure diagram stage

1. At this stage, the structural engineer and the electronic engineer are jointly responsible.

2. The structural engineer uses PROE (or other software) to design the structure diagram according to the rendering When it arrives or cannot be released, it should be submitted in time to see if the appearance requirements can be changed. Ordinary structural drawings must be completed within 5 days, and complex structural drawings must be completed within 7 days.

Fourth, the prototype production stage

1. Provide 3D graphics files (STP format files) for the prototype department to make prototypes. The project engineer compiles the “product prototype production list” and submits it to the prototype department for approval by the supervisor review manager. Determine the completion time of the prototype (usually set as 4-5 days); if it is particularly difficult to do, it can be extended to 7 days.

2. After the parts are ready, the structural engineer, electronic engineer, and assistant engineer assemble the prototype together, and the structural engineer is mainly responsible for it. And record the problems found in the prototype assembly process, after installation, test the function of the product;

Five, mold making stage

Sixth, the project model stage

Seven, trial production stage

8. Production stage (mass production stage)

1. In order to ensure that the production line can make products according to product quality standards, the engineers of the development department must patrol and follow up during the production of the first two batches. If problems are found, they must be dealt with in time. Small problems must be resolved on the same day, and there must be a written treatment result, and big problems (such as a hardware part problem) must be resolved within a week and a written treatment result must be available.

2. All changes and production precautions should be issued “Engineering Decision Memorandum” (EDM). If the sales department has special requirements, they should be converted into engineering data and distributed to various departments according to the requirements (such as updating the bill of materials, drawings, etc.).

The above are the eight main process steps of product structure design. Therefore, we should usually express our admiration for the designer of product structure design.

Everyone has the heart to love beauty. Consumers prefer products with beautiful shapes. Therefore, in the case of products with the same or similar functions, products with exquisite shape, fashionable style and pleasing to the eye can gain the upper hand in the market. Especially in the current fiercely competitive market environment, the unique design of smart products can greatly enhance the market competitiveness of the product, and even determine the size of the market share, which in turn affects the survival of the enterprise, so the aesthetic Product Design is carried out. Consumers tend to give priority.

What is the meaning of “appearance”? “Appearance” is the external appearance of industrial products. Therefore, the appearance must be external, fixed, and visible to the naked eye. Those products with “inner beauty”, no matter how beautiful their internal design is, they cannot be called “external design”. Just like the internal sandwich design of various bags, the exterior is not visible, so you can`t apply for a design patent. The interface of the electronic game, the wallpaper of the mobile phone, and the screen on and off are also not part of the design because they are not fixed and can only be visible under certain circumstances. Those designs with “invisibility” functions, such as patterns that can only be seen under ultraviolet light, or patterns that can be seen only by applying a certain potion, are not design designs.

The carrier of the appearance design is an industrial product, and an industrial product refers to a product that can be repeated in industry and produced in batches. If the aesthetic design is not applied to industrial products, then it may belong to the “work” in the “Copyright Law”. Like root carving art works, each piece is unique and pleasing to the eye, but it cannot be produced in batches and is not an industrial product, so it does not belong to “design”. A picture painted on a flat carrier is a work of art in copyright; but if the picture is applied to bed sheets, curtains, and wallpaper, then it is an appearance design.

The appearance design should meet the functional requirements of the product, and fully reflect the material and spiritual functional requirements of fair use of functions, humaneness and environmental adaptability, and exquisite shape; at the same time, comprehensive consideration should be given to the realization of the prerequisites of the structure, materials, and craftsmanship of the shape. On the basis, design a good product with a sense of the times.

In today’s technology-developed society, smart products have become a necessity for living. Therefore, the design of smart products must have both appearance and function at the same time, so that the sales of such smart products can be considerable.
