碩士 === 國立臺中教育大學 === 數位內容科技學系碩士班 === 105 === Miaoli County is now heartland of powder metallurgy industry in Taiwan, being experienced on manufacturing a wide variety of refined industrial component, specializing in its well-developed skills and high material utilization ratio. Due to global economic depression, the OEM-based powder metallurgy industry is now facing the problem of shrinking orders and market downturn, and it can no longer rely on traditional manufacturing technology. With the view of sustainable development of the industry, it is of significance to conduct industrial upgrading. We need to implement innovative technology and invest in developing new product to reach new milestones. By firstly data collection and compaction of powder metallurgy, and then through expert interview method, after analyzing and further understanding on its design process from their experiences, we finally completed a set of innovative design specifications, which is outside form the traditional processing procedure and could be even applied to a wide variety of cultural and creative products. Second, executing feasibility assessment of case design from researches, we carried out on manufacturing and design of cultural and creative products by utilizing our innovative specifications, then completing preliminary sample of dragon dance product of Miaoli with implementing metal mold in operation . At last, we conducted experts review on validity and superiority of our sample, and hopefully acquired high recognition from them. Our result proved that it is of practicability to design cultural and creative product on powder metallurgy components, especially for manufacturing process with variations of surface elements and high complexity of precision requirement. In addition, we cooperated with an experienced traditional powder metallurgy factory by importing digitally designed techniques in manufacturing design operations. After times of discussing with senior engineers, the potential of high convenience and strong integration has been clearly verified. Undoubtedly, digitally designed techniques possess the ability to improve the efficiency of years of traditional manufacturing design and process. We excepted that the results of this study will provide a reference for the Industrial innovation research and unprecedented production process design in powder metallurgy industry at Miaoli.
