Research on Computer Aided Industrial Design system for pneumatic tools

There are always some problems existed in traditional product development stage of pneumatic tool such as high cost, low efficiency, long developing period and so on. It can improve developing efficiency by using Computer Aided Industrial Design (CAID) technology in product development. How to use CAID technology in design of pneumatic tool is discussed in this paper. This research proposes Bottom-up design method to support industrial design for pneumatic tool and develops industrial design function system structure. An example of air nailer design is given to explain the function and configuration of ID module including form design, colour design, layout design and ergonomics design, which it can show the whole design process by CAID system.
