Form design of CNC machine tools using SVM-Kansei engineering model

摘要

In the past, the design of CNC machine tools focused on their functional aspects and was hard to acquire any resonance with customers. Nowadays, despite the needs of low-price and high-quality machine, more and more customers request a good-looking machine. Regarding this, our study aims to provide a novel approach based on the combination of Kansei engineering and support vector machine scheme to determine the best design combination of product form elements of machine tools for matching consumer-preferred product images. Furthermore, for practical consideration, a user-friendly design expert system is developed and an example of new-designed machine tool out-looking based on this system is demonstrated.
