CMF, fillets vs chamfers, ergonomics, Dieter Rams’ ten principles — the language of designing objects. — 16 entries
Colour, material, finish (CMF)컬러·소재·마감(CMF)
The discipline of changing only colour, material, and surface finish on an identical form to create a completely different impression, feel, and price tier.
Fillet vs. chamfer필렛 vs 챔퍼
Two ways to soften a sharp edge — a fillet rounds it with a curve, a chamfer slices it flat at an angle.
Draft angle드래프트 앵글(구배각)
A slight taper deliberately added to a mold's vertical walls so the finished part releases without scraping or sticking.
Parting line파팅라인(형합선)
The faint line on a finished molded or cast part where the two halves of the tool met.
Ergonomics인체공학
Sizing, shaping, and placing a product based on real data about human body dimensions, strength, and range of motion.
Form follows function형태는 기능을 따른다
The modernist principle that an object's shape should be derived from what it does, not applied to it as decoration.
Dieter Rams' ten principles디터 람스의 10원칙
Ten criteria for "what makes design good," distilled by German industrial designer Dieter Rams from decades of practice at Braun.
Physical affordance물리적 어포던스
The way an object's shape itself signals how to operate it — a flat plate says push, a bar-shaped handle says pull.
Modular design모듈러 디자인
Designing a set of independent, standardized units (modules) that combine in different ways to produce several product configurations.
Design for assembly (DFA)조립성 설계(DFA)
Designing a product from the start with fewer parts and fewer assembly motions, so it goes together faster, cheaper, and with fewer mistakes.
Surface continuity (G0/G1/G2)표면 연속성(G0/G1/G2)
A grading of how smoothly two curves or surfaces meet — position-only (G0), matching tangent (G1), or matching curvature too (G2).
Knurling널링(요철 가공)
A repeating pattern of small ridges — usually diamond-shaped or straight — cut into a surface that gets gripped or turned by hand, to reduce slipping.
Living hinge리빙 힌지(일체형 힌지)
A hinge with no separate hardware at all — just a very thin, flexible strip of the same material that survives thousands of fold cycles.
Tolerance공차
The allowed range a part's dimension can drift from its nominal value on a drawing — too tight and cost climbs, too loose and mating parts don't fit.
Prototype fidelity프로토타입 충실도
Tuning a prototype's realism — from a rough concept mockup to a production-finish model — to match exactly what question it needs to answer.
Sustainable materials지속가능 소재
Choosing recycled, renewable, or low-carbon materials — and designing with a single material so the product is easy to separate and recycle at end of life.
