Integration And Innovation Of Product Design Tools

As the physical information system integration with the core of 4.0 industry developed,great changes have taken place in people’s lifestyle and work style.Demand for products has also been changed accordingly.To cater for the changes of demand for products,designers must change their thinking style of design.Different design thinking style will lead to the use of different design tools.It is believed that good design tools can promote design works finished with high efficiency and high quality.The rise of big data,the development of cloud computing,the maturity of internet and the popularization of rapid prototyping technology provide various technical support for the new design tools.In this paper,the author will discuss the integration and innovation of design tools based on the technology mentioned above combined with Internet and interdisciplinary thinking mode.The main content focuses on the discussion over the finding,the ideas and the process of design.The discussion also involves the author’s practice project,the educational toys design for 3 to 6 years old children.Through this topic,the integration and innovation of design tools will be illustrated and validated.This paper involves the following several aspects:1.The big data,intelligent mobile applications and hardware tools can be used to launch market research,product research and user research.Grasp the market trends quickly and efficiently,and discover opportunities of design points and the needs of users.2.Use computer software,mind mapping and analysis model to help design thinking.Find creative designs and transform the design idea to new designing scheme.Use some lightweight tools for rapid design expression eventually.3.Through the analysis of the technical system,understand the core points of the production at present.Designers can use 3D printing and opening source such as software and hardware to make product rapidly.
