Research on Morphology and Semantics of Industrial Design for CNC Machine Tools

Abstract

In recent years, the output of China’s CNC machine tools has been rapidly increasing. China has become the world’s largest country in production, consumption and imports of CNC machine tools. However, the technique, performance and industrial design of CNC machine tools need to be improved. Otherwise, China’s CNC machine tools will lack competitiveness in the international market and the development of the entire industry will be constrained.This dissertation firstly introduces the current research and development trend of CNC machine tools at home and abroad through various channels such as network research and data search. By researching and analyzing the morphological semantics of CNC machine tools on the market and based on big data, the authors created the morphological semantic expressions for the industrial design of CNC machine tools. Then, it analyzes the elements of morphological semantics of CNC machine tools’ industrial design, and presents the morphological semantic database of CNC machine tools. Finally, based on the research of virtual engineering technology and industrial design theories, a selected CNC machine tool is taken as an example. Starting from five aspects--function, form, color, material and aesthetics, the authors do some work on CNC machine tools’ industrial design and verify the theory and method proposed in this paper.
