Utilization is the theme of any manufactured product. And the people who use the product and utilize it are CONSUMERS. This clearly states that every product is launched in the market keeping target consumers in mind. What if the product fails to stand by the consumers expectations and fails to deliver quality services to them? The manufacturers of that product have to face loss as well as the market reputation of the company is also degraded. In order to save them from the aforesaid condition, proper development of the product is quite important.
Product development includes 3 stages-
1 Product Designing
2 Product Development
3 Product Manufacturing
The most important of all is product designing as it lays the base for all the other processes to take place successfully. Product designing involves making the prototype of the product and testing the generated prototype so that it can be forwarded to the development team for further process.
Designing the product is not just making the outlook of the product and defining its physical structure, rather it is making a detailed outlook with exact measurement according to functions assigned to the different parts of the product.
Earlier, it was quite difficult for product designers to inherit the accurate details in their hand made prototype. Hence the generated prototype often lacked accuracy. But with advancement in the product designing field one can now easily make the detailed prototype of the product maintaining a good level of accuracy.
Prototyping techniques have undergone some major changes. Instead of traditional methods there are various prototyping softwares available in the market such as Autodesk and many more. With the help of these prototypes can be made as well as tested and the prototype that comes out is accurate and reliable.
With further advancements, 3D Rapid Prototyping methods were invented. They are now being used worldwide by the product developers. The 3D outcome of the product is same as that of the original product and will function in the same way. The introduction of the 3D Printing prototyping has made it possible for designers to test the prototype physically as if they are testing the manufactured product. The rapid growth in the field of prototyping has helped product designers to produce quality.
The product designing should not just be done by keeping the product in mind but the targeted consumer should also be focused. So it can easily be concluded that the most sustainable product designing is
Consumer Product Designing .
