3D Printing Technology Impact on Development of Industrial Design

Abstract

Development of 3D printing technology brings revolutionary changes to the future of manufacturing. Based on the development of 3D printing technology and application prospects, this paper analyzes the positive effect of 3D printing technology on industrial design process, industrial design concepts and also some negative issues in the development process, such as intellectual property rights arising. What’s more, it discusses the advent of 3D printing technology which is the catalyst of future industrial design development cycle, the generation of "design of the package" model and the development of industrial design from standardization to individuation.
