A study on the perceptual intention of material collocating in product

In order to collocate materials more effectively in industrial design, a method that based on VAS as part of Kansei Engineering, is proposed in this paper to study the users´ perceptual degree toward different material collocating. Vacuum Cup is used as an example to elaborate the process and methods of this research. The results show that the collocating of materials can lead to significant differences in perceptual intention. Moreover, several factors that could influence the perceptual intention of material collocating are also given, thereby providing an advantageous basis for further study on this topic.
