7 Optimization Methods for Product Styling Design

JRPanel has sorted out a series of styling design optimization strategies, hoping to help everyone think strategically in the innovative design stage.


Product styling design optimization strategies: segmentation, cutting and stacking, bending and twisting, concave and convex treatment, spliting and connecting, folding, surface texture. 


1. Segmentation


A series of means to segment the form purposefully to achieve a certain functional effect.


Segmentation includes the following three forms: functional segmentation, form segmentation, and compound segmentation.


Function segmentation-the segmentation method to meet product production and practical functions;

Formal segmentation-a segmentation method to satisfy the aesthetic system thinking of product modeling and color;

Compound segmentation-a segmentation method that covers the above two effects.


2. Cutting and Stacking


Cutting and stacking the shape to achieve a certain functional effect.

3. Bending and Twisting


Bending and twisting the form to achieve a certain functional effect.

4. Concave and convex treatment


Through the concave-convex processing of the shape, a specific shape memory is formed, and the user's habits and methods are strengthened. This kind of processing(embossing in membrane swicth/panel ) is mostly used to manipulate buttons, and can also be used for aesthetic visual compensation.


4. Concave and convex treatment


5. Spliting and connecting


Spliting-Split the original continuous and complete line, surface, color and other elements into multiple individual elements;Conecting-Contrary to spliting, multiple lines, surfaces, colors and other elements are connected as a whole.


5. Spliting and connecting


6. Folding


It is mostly used on curved surfaces. By continuously changing the curved surface, it can achieve the visual effect of enriching the curved surface, such as fading surface, edge surface and so on.


6. Folding


7. Surface texture


The surface of the product is presented with different textures, which is mostly a processing technique to enrich the product shape.

Brief Introduction to Flat Spiral Coil Inductors

  Hi guys! Today JRPanel would like to share a few points about Flat Spiral Coil  Inductors  with you. Basically, a flat coil inductor is an inductor wound with flat copper wire.  The picture below is the side view, we can see that each circle of copper wire is arranged very compact. Here are some of the application characteristics of flat coils : 1.  High current inductance 2.  Lowest DC resistance           3.  Can ensure smooth drop of current-resistant inductance 4.  Suitable for reflow SMT process 5.  Lead-free, RoHS compliant This pciture shows a flat coil product.  It is generally used in power supplies, personal computers and other handheld  electronic devices . Advantages of  F lat  C oil  I nductors are : 1.  Scientific and reasonable space design. 2.  Tight and flat between turns ensures the effective cross-sectional area of the wire, which greatly reduces the copper loss ...

The Difference Between PVC, PC and PET in Membrane Switch Applications

  In membrane switch fileds, there are 3 main materials being used in production, PVC, PC and PET. To help you choose the proper material for your product, we would like to introduce you the difference between PVC, PC and PET in membrane switch applications.   1. PVC    PVC  is also called polyvinyl chloride membrane, the full name is Polyvinylchlorid membrane. The top layer of this structure is lacquer, the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is back-coated adhesive. The price of PVC membrane is low, and it has excellent chemical resistance and insulation function. It is used in sign panels, but not suitable for membrane switches and light touch panels. The global usage of PVC membrane ranks second among various synthetic materials.   2. PC    PC is also called polycarbonate membrane, the thinnest is 0.01mm thick, amorphous, odorless, non-toxic, high transparency and low fogging. Chemical resistance: Dilute acid...

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches JRPanel         Erin KOU      JAN 14, 2020 The most economical and reliable design is the non-tactile membrane switch . Non- tactile membrane switch is flat and has no tactile feedback.  However, this design relies on other methods of identifying a feedback or that a connection is made.  These include indicator LEDs (visual), LCD screen (visual), or a sound(audible). In other words, an LED light can blink or a beeping sound can be heard when a button is pressed. This type of non-tactile membrane switch has the longest life cycle and reliability. The other type of membrane switch is the tactile membrane switch. Tactile membrane switch is very popular because it provides a direct feedback to users that a connection is made.  One way to design a tactile membrane switch is to dome emboss the keys on the graphic overlay. Although it is a little bit more cost that...
