Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ambition

It is said that the young man who was called Xiao He worked overtime overnight for two days in a row to complete the model, and the final finished product looks very good, even if it is just a clay model, but it is roughly designed according to the face shape of the Chinese people, and the effect is still very close to the face shape.

During this period, Wang Zhengguo also deliberately picked it up and tried it, and finally felt that the size was more suitable, so it was determined that the goggles to be delivered for domestic sales would be made in accordance with the shape of the plan, and as for the goggles delivered to the UK, this could not be determined for the time being.

There is a big gap between the face shape of Chinese and Western races, and the goggles suitable for the Republic of China are not necessarily suitable for European and American people, so the goggles exported to the United Kingdom also need to be modified separately for targeted details, although military products are generally soldiers to adapt to the product, but at the moment when more and more attention is paid to the use experience and ergonomics, it is still necessary to optimize the detailed design for the entire European and American races.

In other words, only when John came to the laboratory to communicate, could he have the opportunity to take advantage of this standard British facial data and start exporting British goggle model making.

I believe that after having the first experience in the processing and manufacturing of goggle models for Chinese face shapes, the European and American models with only a slight change in details should not take too much time when making them, which Wang Zhengguo and the professor are quite confident.

But at this time, looking at the clay model, Wang Zhengguo's whole person fell into contemplation: to say that this thing is good, it is very good, at least now it can intuitively show the shape design of the goggles in a physical state, but the real clay model is not used in this way, just now the laboratory uses the clay model, and the real knowledgeable people will definitely laugh off their big teeth when they see it, and the appearance expression can only be regarded as a small part of the clay model, which can only be regarded as a fur.

There are actually many ways to intuitively express the appearance of product design, and the most common woodworking model used by Shudu Aircraft is a very good method, a skilled carpentry model master to make the same military goggle model, where do you need two days and two nights of continuous overtime, at most one day can be done.

Now the reason why we choose to use the high-cost, time-consuming and relatively longer clay model, in fact, the main reason is also to be able to cultivate relevant talents, if you really go to the later stage, the characteristics of the clay model make it more convenient in industrial design.

The material properties of the clay give it a natural texture expression of detail and excellent performance in terms of light reflection, which is completely unmatched by traditional wooden models.

It is precisely because of this that the good clay model can complete the 3D data collection of the entire outer surface through the 3D data acquisition equipment, and then after the post-data processing, the 3D CAD data of the clay model can be directly obtained.

The most common thing is that you can use computer-aided CNC programming technology to realize the surface CNC machining programming of the entire model, with the CNC machining program of the surface model, then the rapid processing of the metal mold is a matter of minutes.

With the introduction of digital design, taking goggles as an example, it can be achieved from manuscript drawings to injection mold processing and molding of the final product in two or three days at most, which can improve the product design cycle so efficiently and quickly, which has become an indispensable core technology in future industrial design.

Unfortunately, in the 80s, this technology was still in its infancy, and the equipment needed for the entire digital design process was definitely not affordable for small companies, which is why clay models were more widely used in the automotive industry.

There is no way, and only the automobile manufacturing industry, which has high input, high output, and high requirements for product design cycle control, will be willing to invest.

Not to mention the cost of the 1:1 clay model of the car, the 3D data collection of the model must use a working space large enough to accommodate the size of a family car, and the equipment that can accurately collect 3D point data in the 80s can only be done by the top high-end laser scanners.

So far, this is only the hardware requirements of data acquisition, and the subsequent three-dimensional data processing also needs to use a computer with powerful computing performance, and needs to use supporting three-dimensional data reverse reconstruction software, which adds up to a lot of expenses, and the whole set of equipment is purchased, in the eighties without a five or six million dollars don't want to stop, and the later use of maintenance, upgrades are also not cheap.

The efficiency improvement brought by such a tall technology is definitely a geometric multiplier, which can explain why after the eighties and nineties, a large number of cars with fluid shapes were rapidly designed and produced, and the various surfaces used in the car are more complex than the other, the reason is that after the use of the above digital design technology, whether you are freeform or graphic design processing, model production is the same.

In the 80s, the Republic of China introduced and produced the German Volkswagen Santana car, try to ask if there is a curved surface in the entire shape design? There is no such thing at all, all of them are simply made of plane splicing, and it can still be sold at a high price of more than 200,000 yuan.

And the car thirty years later, which one is not a fluid modeling design, tens of thousands of dollars of cars can directly use all kinds of smooth curved surfaces, that is really more beautiful than the other, why is this?

In fact, it is mainly because of the improvement of the level of design and production, and the improvement of the level of design and production depends on the development of computer-aided design, why the Korean car after 2000 can emerge, in fact, a big reason is that its appearance design is more beautiful than the domestic car, the Korean automobile industry in the shape design of a large number of fluid sculpture design concept.

Thinking deeply, why Koreans were able to design and produce a large number of cars using the concept of fluid sculpture design in 2000 is actually because the Koreans are better than the Republic in terms of hardware and software of car shape design technology, that is, after 2010, the Republic introduced a large number of foreign automobile design technology, which quickly launched a variety of cars with streamlined design.

What is known as the most beautiful domestic Borui, it can finally design a beautiful shape, relying not only on the designer's aesthetic skills, but also on modern processing and manufacturing technology.

To put it more intuitively, why can a certain Thai car of the Celestial Empire be unscrupulous and quickly make the same shape design as a foreign super luxury car? A certain wind car can immediately take the lead after releasing a concept car in a foreign country, and be the first to make a car with the same design and sell it.

All of this must rely on powerful and modern computer-aided design to speed up the product development cycle, especially when there is already a physical reference for it, which makes it easier to copy the appearance.

After thinking so much, Wang Zhengguo clearly knows that three-dimensional digital design and manufacturing is the direction of industrial design in the future, and the related equipment is naturally high-tech in high-tech, and the profit from the sale of a set of equipment is simply outrageous.

For this huge market, if you don't rush up and tear off a piece of meat, you will be sorry for the great opportunity for your rebirth.

Then again, the reason why I suddenly want to make this product is mainly related to someone's bad taste, after all, a set of 3D digital design-related equipment on the market is too expensive, which is not suitable for the private enterprises that have developed since childhood in the future Republic.

In the future, private enterprises in the republic need cheap enough design and production equipment, equipment that can help them quickly speed up the product design cycle, and equipment that can really help them efficiently reverse the hot-selling products on the market.

The so-called reverse is actually the commonly known copycat technology, and reverse scanning the existing product design data and scanning the full-scale model data, in fact, the principle is the same, can scan the model design, will be able to scan the finished product data.

As long as he can make this technology and promote it to the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises in China as the most basic industrial product design accelerator, this will definitely provide a strong boost to the small and medium-sized enterprises of the Republic in the future, and ensure that the great and glorious cause of cottages can be carried forward at least ten years in advance.

In essence, there is no shame in copycats, as long as they can successfully help enterprises develop, it is a good technology, and Wang Zhengguo is very willing to be the driving force behind this.
