Product Design, wide range of design, engineering, and related activities that are needed in the development of a product from initial concept to final manufacture. The products are typically mass-produced consumer product design, industrial design goods, and can be anything from toothbrushes to cars. The systematic process of product design has to resolve the often conflicting demands that arise in the development of products. engineering design, cad design These might include considerations of manufacturing, marketing, aesthetic appeal, protection of the environment, ergonomics, financial cost, ease of maintenance, and safety. It follows that, for anything but the simplest rapid tooling and prototyping product, many specialists (for example, marketing staff, ergonomists, industrial designers, and engineers) will play their part in the product design process. These specialists use their own forms of product modelling to aid the design and development process. Initial concepts may be developed and evaluated by designers and project management, stereo lithography and laser sintering engineers using quickly produced sketch models in two or three dimensions. More formal aids may then be used, such as engineering drawings, full-size non-working models to represent appearance, and working prototypes, to further test the feasibility plastic injection moulding, design international of the emerging product. Computer-based modelling is now used extensively in product design, by all the design and engineering specialists. This is known as computer-aided design (CAD) and is popular with industry because it enables new procedures and technologies to be employed that shorten the time it takes to develop a new product.
