conclusion 结论

Design is the foundation of manufacturing, and there will be no advanced manufacturing without advanced design. Under the current trend of digitalization, informatization and intelligence of product manufacturing, the strong integration of different disciplines has brought great challenges and opportunities to product design.
The concept and connotation of design have been expounded systematically in this paper, and the different types of design are analyzed. The four schools of design theory such as universal design, axiomatic design, TRIZ and general design have been discussed. The research status of key technologies for complex product design such as innovative design, digital design, modular design and reliability optimization design have been reviewed.
Three key scientific issues worthy of research are discussed, including initial concept formation, deduction and evolution in product forward design, implicit design knowledge acquisition in intelligent design with big data, and trans-scale material configuration-functional coupling modeling in 4D printing design. Five research trends of “newer, bet ter, smarter, faster and greener” are summarized, providing research ideas for the equipment design and manufacturing industry.
