Abstract
A morphing method for product design is proposed in this study. In this model, a feature-based method is first used to construct a CAD model of a product. The image perception of the product is then quantified by using 'semantic difference (SD)' and the relationships between the morphed shapes and image words are analyzed with 'gray theory'. A consultative computer program is then constructed based on these basic data. With this program, the designer can start to develop design ideas and will quickly obtain a product form that fits the demanded image by inputting an image word. Though the form design for a LCD monitor is taken as an example in this study, this method can also be used to develop other products.
