“…Instead, a cardanic transmission was chosen (Figure 14), where the transfer of motion of the cardan joint occurs due to the incidence in a point of two rotation axes. The decision is due to a number of advantages brought about by this type of transmission including minimal maintenance, easy cleaning, no noise, smaller footprint, and more pleasing aesthetics [7][8][9][10][11]. Concerning the range of the length of the bike, the main innovation of the product is the telescopic frame.…”

The present study aims to validate a new research method called IDeS (industrial design structure) through the design of an electric bicycle for everyday city life. IDeS is the latest evolution of a combination of innovative and advanced systematic approaches that are used to set a new industrial project. The IDeS methodology is sequentially composed of quality function deployment (QFD), benchmarking (BM), top-flop analysis (TFA), stylistic design engineering (SDE), design for X, prototyping and testing, budgeting, and planning. The present work illustrates how to integrate the abovementioned design methods and achieve a convincing result. In going through the IDeS method step by step, we compare the different solutions on the market in order to understand which are the best performing products and to understand what is missing on the market. This method allowed us to design a bicycle that is as close as possible to the “ideal bike”, obtained with the top/flop analysis.

“…The following paper presents a case study based on the different phases of Industrial Design Structure (IDeS) with the integration of AM and AR, dividing the process into several design steps. Using IDeS, it is possible to develop an innovative industrial product [2] by deconstructing the process into phases concerning style, design, optimization, and production. Because of this methodology, errors are reduced, and the final product result is both innovative and relatively cheap since no changes need be done after the application of the methodology itself.…”

The design of an E segment, executive, midsize sedan car was chosen to fill a gap in the market of the Ford brand and to achieve the goal of innovation looking towards the future. Ford has not owned an E-segment flagship sports sedan for years, since the historic 1960s Falcon. Starting from the latter assumption and considering that the major car manufacturers are currently investing heavily in E-segment cars, it is important to design a new model, which has been called the Eagle. This model proposed here is to fill the gap between Ford and other companies that are already producing sport cars for the electric sector and to complete Ford’s proposal. The presented methodology is based on SDE, on which many design tools are implemented, such as Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Benchmarking (BM), and Top Flop Analysis (TPA). A market analysis follows in order to identify the major competitors and their key characteristics considering style and technology. The results are used to design an innovative car. Based on the most developed stylistic trends, the vehicle is first sketched and then drawn in the 2D and 3D environments for prototyping. This result leads to the possibility of 3D printing the actual model as a maquette using the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology and testing it in different configurations in Augmented Reality (AR). These two final applications unveil the possibilities of Industry 4.0 as enrichment for SDE and in general rapid prototyping.

“…This method is an evolution from past, well-known design methodologies like QFD and SDE, which englobe the GD approach, and DFSS that has been accepted by industries worldwide for reaching high quality levels, by using tools like the Top-Flop Analysis (TFA), Benchmarking (BM) and Product Architecture deployment. Different research findings about the application of this methodologies demonstrated the objective to gather a full project concept approach to provide the designer with a scheme that could guide them through the work for best results across all departments [3][4][5][6]. However, it can be used across many industries such as automotive, electronics, information technology, marketing, waste management and medical plants.…”

GD (Generative Design) Applied to a Plastics Recovery Drone (PRD) Using IDeS (Industrial Design Structure)

et al. 2021

The evolution of innovative and systematic design methodologies over time has widened the design concept involvement from the product development phase, which also includes the production and start-up phases. Literature findings have presented to accomplish a Generative Design (GD) approach through the application of an innovative method called Industrial Structure Design (IDeS), a systematic design method able to discover the customer’s needs and the fundamental technical solutions to obtain a good innovative product, involving the whole organization for this achievement. Nevertheless, there is a social demand for solutions to the dramatic and growing problem of marine pollution from plastic materials, encouraging the designers to conceive a new innovative drone for waste collection at sea. Therefore, this study aims to merge all the most advanced design technologies with IDeS in an integrated way, by generating a structure that can also be adopted to plan the organization of a production company. The approach is validated with the design of the Recovery Plastic Drone (RPD) obtained with the IDeS methodology, combining Design and Product development phases, leading to a better and innovative solution for the market.
