Industrial design is an exotic term, which is directly translated from English Industrial Design. In China, it has been called industrial art design, product styling design, product design, etc. In recent years, it has been unified as "industrial design". In recent years, it has been unified as "industrial design".
In 1980, the International Federation of Industrial Design Associations for the definition of industrial design: mass-produced industrial products, by virtue of training, technology, experience and visual perception, endowed with materials, structure, form, color, surface processing and decoration to the new quality and performance. When industrial designers are required to work on packaging, publicity, market development, etc., and give their technical knowledge and experience, they also belong to the category of industrial design. The core of industrial design is product design.
Mass-produced industrial products, whether daily consumer goods or means of production, all belong to the scope of industrial design. Such as: daily ceramics, glassware, stationery, furniture; all kinds of household appliances; machine tools, medical equipment, computers; bicycles, motorcycles, cars, trains, airplanes, ships; buildings and their internal and external decoration.
Industrial design is the inevitable product of industrial modernization and market competition, and its design object is the mass production of products by industrialized methods, industrial design has a great impact on modern human life, and at the same time subject to the reality of the level of production and life.
The process of industrial design can be divided into several stages: collecting and selecting information, choosing product goals, conceptualizing product image, formulating research and development plan, and product specific design. Industrial design involves not only a series of traditional disciplines, such as mechanics of materials, structural mechanics, strength theory, etc., but also many emerging disciplines, such as ergonomics, value engineering, bionics, design aesthetics and so on. Computer-aided design (CAD) has become the most important means of modern industrial design.
Industrial design should pay attention to the following principles: the principle of creativity; the principle of market demand; the principle of user priority; the principle of corporate goals; the principle of easy to grasp; the principle of aesthetics; the principle of protection of the ecological environment.
The United States, Japan, Germany and other industrially developed countries, industrial designers are not only the number of high level, design theory and design means are the world's most advanced level, and its industrial development has benefited from a variety of ways.
China's industrial design at this stage of the countermeasures are: on the one hand, those who already have advanced machinery and equipment, mechanization, automation, high degree of mass production of enterprises, as far as possible, the use of advanced design theories and design methods, the development of its products, design; on the other hand, those who are technologically backward, the proportion of manual labor in the proportion of small-scale enterprises and townships to strengthen the products of conventional design and technology transfer, so that their products can be used in the development of the industry. On the other hand, the products of those small enterprises and township enterprises with backward technical equipment and large proportion of manual labor should be strengthened with conventional design and technology transfer, so as to make their products obtain a certain degree of technical progress. This is not only in line with China's current level of development, but also to meet different levels of consumer demand.
