Industrial Design Technology

Industrial design defines functional and external qualities of products and includes elements of art, marketing, and technology.

Industrial design includes generating an idea, concept elaboration, sketching, layout, 3D modelling, visualization, designing, and prototyping.

To create a sketch of the product, industrial design requires not only artistic and analytical activities, but also the knowledge of a number of 3D graphic programmes, programmes for industrial design automation, and CAD programmes that allow to create concepts and sketches of the produced goods.
