Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has promoted the manufacturing industry from becoming bigger and stronger, and has become an important part of building a modern economic system. Whether it is the domestic large-scale passenger aircraft C919, the "Blue Whale No. 1" ultra-deepwater double-drilling tower semi-submersible drilling platform, or the AV500 unmanned helicopter, all of them absorb and utilize high-tech science and technology, and have an aesthetic improvement in internal and external design. To make Chinese manufacturing show an efficient, safe and humanized side, reflecting the important role of industrial design in China in safeguarding and promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing.

Industrial design is a systematic practice of applying modern design theories and methods to the development and production of industrial products and large equipment. The historical experience of industrialized countries proves that the more active a country's industrial design is, the stronger its industrial innovation capability and market competitiveness; the higher the degree of industrialization and the stronger the basic strength of manufacturing, the value enhancement and market control level that industrial design can stimulate. The higher, the more important the dependence and demand for industrial design. For a country's industrialization process, the mutual stimulation of this basic manufacturing capability and industrial design capability is conducive to the formation of a strong vitality to rapidly increase the degree of industrialization. In the 20th century, the initiative and dominance of the world's industrial design were basically controlled by the industrial design strength groups of a few industrial powers in Europe and the United States, such as the British William Morris and the arts and crafts movement that pioneered modern design since the second half of the 19th century. The German Bauhaus, who created modern design education in the 1920s, the first generation of professional industrial designers born in the United States in the 1930s, the rapidly emerging British industrial design and design management after the 1940s, and the Nordic modern design that emerged after the 1950s. They have made outstanding contributions to the mature development of the world industrial design industry and market.

 China's modern industrial design started a little later. In the early days of the founding of New China, due to economic constraints, industrial bases and other conditions, China's manufacturing industry can only do low-end products or sample processing. At that time, China's industrial design lacked both practical experience and practical platform. However, in this kind of expectation, exploration, learning and development that is not to be outdone, generations of industrial designers take the motherland and the nationality as their own responsibility, to overcome difficulties and continue to explore practice, and finally open the door to independent innovation of industrial design. .

Since the reform and opening up, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the new era and new journey, China's modern manufacturing industry has worked tirelessly, the foundation has become more solid, and the sense of independent innovation has gradually increased. The industrial contour of China's industrial design has begun to surface. From the needle line brain and the water dragon switch of daily households to the high-altitude aerospace and deep-sea diving to and from the five continents, China's industrial design is everywhere. Lenovo, Haier, Sany Heavy Industry and other design innovation companies and their products have become innovation-driven. Shenglijun; Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi and a number of distinctive corporate brands and their emerging technology products came to the fore. On the occasion of the spring of 2019, the "Shenzhou" manned spacecraft and the "Tiangong No. 1" target aircraft exhibited in the "3rd China Design Exhibition and Public Art Exhibition" of Shenzhen Contemporary Art and Urban Planning Museum, The design model of a number of major engineering and special engineering projects, such as the “Revival” speed of 350 km/h double-deck high-speed railway bus, is a representative of vivid interpretation of historical progress.

At present, with the strong engineering power of China's industrial manufacturing, advanced design and advanced manufacturing are deeply integrated and powerful. A group of outstanding industrial design cases and industrial design innovation teams quickly entered the social field of vision, while also sending a strong and powerful Chinese voice to the world design stage. A group of industrial design “Pioneers” began to walk from behind the scenes to the stage to show the world the excellence of Chinese industrial designers.

Industrial design is a system-demanding “scientific/humanistic” technology integration, especially for high-end technology and advanced manufacturing. Each project is called “responsibility” and every technology can withstand Extremely strict, rigorous and rigorous scientific examination and quality inspection require the unremitting efforts of several generations of industrial designers to make industrial design and modern manufacturing, the national economy truly deep integration, teamwork is particularly important.

 The industrial design team of Northwestern Polytechnical University participating in the national aerospace engineering project, under the leadership of the older generation of industrial design professors such as Lu Changde, has been teaching in the national aerospace science and technology department for several consecutive years, conducting interdisciplinary exchanges with aerospace engineering experts, and establishing industrial Design mutual trust in design value and function, technology and method, and start from small and partial engineering projects to provide high quality design services. For example, the design of the space capsule "world and color" achieved in the actual aerospace environment through industrial design proposals, through the use of color methods, creates environmental conditions conducive to the psychological stability of space work, and has accumulated important experience for the future space workstation environment design. These meticulous and scientific work of the industrial design team is affirmed by the engineering system. At present, industrial design, as a normal working method, has been incorporated into the aerospace engineering R&D process by multiple departments.

The Institute of Human-Computer Environment System Design of Southwest Jiaotong University, as an internationally competitive professional team for rail transit industrial design, was originally a “out-of-door” in terms of rail transit and vehicle design, with no equipment and no experience. However, in just over a decade, under the leadership of Professor Xu Bochu, the team worked closely with the track experts of the State Key Laboratory to accumulate data and overcome difficulties. In order to meet the special requirements of rail transit products, the team started from the basic investigation, only on the high-speed rail ride user psychology, from the vehicle operating environment, interior color effects, passenger seat configuration, interior lighting layout, in-vehicle public facilities, etc. A number of special in-depth questionnaires were conducted to form the best research plan and applied to design planning. Today, the Chinese high-speed railway running in the south of Saibei is not only fast and stable, but also reflects the thoughtful and people-oriented design concept in the color environment, ride experience, facilities and services, and information tips. It has become a new era of Chinese manufacturing technology and A shining business card of aesthetic achievement is also a vivid portrayal of China's century-old industrial design process, which is in sync with advanced manufacturing.

At present, more than 600 colleges and universities across the country offer industrial design majors, and implement industrial design talents from specialist, undergraduate to postgraduate systems. Together, they form a huge industrial design team that can provide a wide range of professional services and talent pools. . Although it is still very young, it still lacks experience and needs to be explored in many aspects. It still has a certain distance from the international top level, but it has already stood on the actual platform of world advanced manufacturing, and the high-end, system and growth of this platform. Sexually, it has taken advantage of the rare conditions and accumulated the starting experience. In the future, as this team continues to grow, it is believed that China's modern industrial design will make the production and application process of modern manufacturing more convenient, comfortable and beautiful.
