In this paper, the Batik Merbok motifs are proposed to be used in porcelain wares using 3D (CAD) software. The natural motifs developed are seen to have potential to be incorporated in tableware collections or as a daily home-product usage. It is a conceptual paper which explaining the motifs developed by Batik Merbok and discussing the 3D (CAD) design developments. The motifs were developed with a combination of flora, fauna and the humanmade historical artefacts which were inspired from the surrounding areas of Merbok, Kedah. A detail research results are not yet conclusive; therefore, the researchers will continue to develop the porcelain wares further and investigate the consumer perceptions towards the incorporation of the batik motifs. It is one of the sole efforts of bringing Batik Merbok into exploring another genre of designs.

Design development is one of the processes in the teaching and learning of industrial design. This process is important during the early stage of ideas before continuing to the next design stage. This study was conducted to investigate the comparison between  academic  syllabus  and  industry  practices  whether  these  processes  are  highly dependent on the idea generation and interaction related to the designer or to the student itself. The data were gathered through an observation of industry practice during conceptual design phase, teaching and learning process in academic through Video Protocol Analysis (VPA) method and interviews with industry practitioners via structured and unstructured questionnaires. The data were analysed by using NVivo software in order to formulate the results. The findings may possibly contribute to the teaching and learning processes especially in the improvement of industrial design syllabus in order to meet the industry demands.

This research on the participation of industrial design students’ experiences in 3D printing and 3D modelling demonstrates that they are successful in fully utilising additive manufacturing in the design process and as a final fabrication method in the product design area. The project begins with the literature review, prototyping tests, and students' participation in 3D modelling in the specific subject of industrial design. The outcome shared a guideline for how to use Rapid Prototyping (RP) 3D Printers in the model-making and prototyping processes. The result was an example of a design project practice that was made by modelling and then printed with 3D printing.  Keywords: 3D Printing, Product Design, Fused Deposition Modeling eISSN: 2398-4287© 2022.

This project shares the output of how the positive impact on form design is discovered through the noisy product user’s response. The method began by using the images combination between the vacuum cleaner and vacum cleaner noise, where the data was collected from vacuum cleaner users in Shah Alam residential area. The findings revealed that a vacuum cleaner with an attractive form design can lessen the user's unfavorable reaction to its noise. However, the user must be familiar with the product since they have used it previously. Keywords: Formgiving Design; Noisy Product, User Responses eISSN: 2398-4287© 2022. The Authors.
