DIY可變家具 開發과 供給方式에 관한 硏究

Abstract

The recent consumption type is to make one's own expression and thinking different from the establishment. The time of expressing one's personality passed. Now is the time to make something new directly without limitation, and to create something uniquely that gives self-satisfaction and thereby provides its value. Accordingly, consumers reject commonplaceness and prefer DIY products (Do It Yourself products made directly by consumers) to make the good they want. Compared to finished products, DIY products give consumers a sense of achievement and attachment in the whole process from assembly step to finishing step. By applying CNC machining to DIY products, it is possible to help users experience the process prior to assembly step and to freely select a material. In addition, by making and using the 3D printer based moduler objects, it is possible to expand the range of product application and give a variety of experiences to users. That makes it possible for users to experience direct making and construction of products, and will become a new supply method of selling a designer's digitalized designs, unlike the conventional DIY based supply method of selling half-finished products. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the concepts of CNC machining and 3D printer, to analyze the problems of the conventional DIY furniture supply method, to develop and suggest DIY variable furniture, and to find the directions and various experiences of the variable furniture based new supply method for users. The research procedure is presented as follows: - vii Firstly, theoretical analysis was conducted to understand the concepts of CNC machining and 3D printer, to draw characteristics, and to apply them to the DIY variable furniture based supply method. In addition, the concepts and types of variable furniture and DIY were understood, and DIY variable furniture was defined in combination of advantages of each type. Secondly, the cases of conventional DIY furniture supply method were surveyed and analyzed so as to draw such issues as diversity of forms, restriction of material and function, and fixture in a particular space. Thirdly, based on the problems drawn from related work, the design direction of DIY variable furniture was established. In this research procedure, this study suggested a new supply method of digitalizing drawings of CNC features and giving a variety of selections of materials and finishing materials, which is beyond the conventional concept of selling half-finished DIY furniture products.
