디지털 데이터를 이용한 목제품 및 금속제품 디자인 개발에 관한 연구

Abstract

With people’s recent increasing interest in good design products, wood and metal products have gained great popularity. However, it was believed that it would be necessary to have a transformation to the manufacturing method based on digital data and equipments from existing analog-based manufacturing method, in order to meet consumers’ demand. This study was aimed to seek for the possibility of mass-producing wood and metal products through the research on the type, usage and development conditions of digital data and the methods of utilizing digital equipments. As for research methods, the study analyzed the concepts and types of digital data through various internet and literature reviews and suggested perpetual calendar products as the final outcome of design development using computer data. Through this, the study summarized and organized actual design development processes by stage to provide basic data that could become the foundation of research on the design of wood and metal products using digital data. Through the outcome of this project, the following effects could be expected by developing wood and metal products through digital data. First, its accurate and precise process would help mass-produce complex forms of products and reduce their defective rate. Second, the compatible production of various types of digital equipments would lead to a cost reduction. Third, the diversity of design could be pursued by overcoming technical limitations. In order to satisfy the above expectation effects, such as realization of developing and producing various wood and metal products, there should be designers’ creative experimental spirits, their active information exchange and cooperation with the companies concerned.
