Industrial design is the process of using design principles to enhance the functional and aesthetic features of a product. It combines various disciplines and principles of design to ensure that a product is user-friendly, ergonomic, economical, manufacturable, and environmentally sustainable. The primary goal of industrial design is to improve the interaction between a product and its user and to enhance the product’s functionality.
In this process, designers consider aesthetic elements, usability, material selection, manufacturing processes, and ergonomics. Industrial design often forms part of the product development process and may include pre-production prototypes, 3D modeling, user testing, and other design tools. This discipline aims to increase the product’s chances of success by guiding it through various stages before its market launch.
