Study on Basic Knowledge System of Industrial Design Engineering

The science and technology development in twenty-first century impresses us like biological evolution, the blurred boundaries of disciplines, the newer technology derived from merging new technologies, changing the feature of traditional disciplines.Virtual reality technology is used in industrial design, making a more perfect combination of design activities and modern advanced manufacturing technology, bringing new reform opportunities for innovative industrial design of theory and methods.The paper constructs the basic knowledge system of industrial design engineering and discusses its main contents: the base of modeling material, the base of forming process, the base of surface technology and the base of digital technology.Finally, it concludes that designers should master the basic knowledge of industrial design engineering, communicate their design ideas in the design process of transmission of information and cultural values properly, rather than making noise in the visual and meaning transmission.
