Exploration of Practice Teaching Mode of Product Design Based on Three-dimensional Printing Technology

Abstract

As a highly interdisciplinary and practice major, product design is expected to achieve the cultivation of innovative talents with artistic accomplishment, engineering knowledge, business awareness and design skills within limited learning time. Technology and art are regarded as the core of its cultivation. In the traditional industrial processing system, mass industrial production is taken by product design practice as the premise. Nevertheless, the maturity of rapid prototyping system represented by three-dimensional printing technology and its combination with whole-process digitalization and intelligent production bring about a great reduction in individualized customization and flexible production costs, which leads to new development opportunities for product design practice. This paper is devoted to the discussion of the practice teaching mode of product design in the context of three-dimensional printing technology.
