What is Industrial Design?

The term industrial design is used to describe the process of designing products that are intended for use in a manufacturing environment. Industrial designers work with engineers, product managers and other professionals who have responsibility for creating new products or improving existing ones. The goal of an industrial designer is to create designs that meet functional requirements while also meeting aesthetic criteria such as style, form and function.

In addition to working on individual projects, industrial designers may be employed by organisations whose primary purpose is to develop new products. These firms often specialise in developing prototypes which they then present to potential customers. In this way, industrial designers can help determine whether there will be sufficient demand for a particular product before it has been fully developed. They might also assist in determining how much production should go ahead based upon market research conducted during the development phase.

Why Cambridge for Industrial Design?

Given the manufacturing industry’s significant presence in Cambridge, it’s natural that the area excels in innovative product engineering and industrial design.

Educational institutions like the Royal College of Art’s Industrial Design Engineering department and the University of Cambridge’s Engineering Design Centre play a crucial role in nurturing the city’s future industrial designers.
