제품디자인에 있어서 디지털 직접제조의 창조적 활용

Abstract

This paper investigates the potentials of "makers" by one-person creative company us in 3D printer and the new creative roles of product design in the newly emerging circulation system of production and consumption thereof. To this end, this paper deliberated the development of manufacturing technology including mass production and mass consumption since the industrial revolution and the history of consumption culture types thereof. Furthermore, the change of technologies which can induce the innovative change in manufacturing industry including robots, artificial intelligence, 3D printer and nano-technology, the critical element enabling small production of various kinds at present, was examined. In accordance with the analysis above, it was estimated that the manufacturing, distribution and consumption system which was completely different from existing system would be created. Moreover, the trend of 3D printing technology and material development was estimated. Furthermore, "direct digital manufacturing" cases using 3D printer were examined through literature and internet and the activities of one-person creative company were investigated. Finally, this paper verfieid the potentials of "makers" by designing products(lighting fittings), making digital database and making the products using 3D printer. Moreover, the justification on creative making attitudes or artisan spirit which was forgotten half-willingly and half not for the designers in mass production environment at present was deduced. In conclusion, the new open circulation system and consumption system based on the analysis and deliberation above were defined. It was concluded that design, manufacturing and distribution exclusively given to large-scale facilities and capital were returned to consumers to some extent.
