Abstract

Recognizing the shortage of information about business models to generate profit despite the designers' recent interest in 3D printers as a new creative tool, this study set out to make sunglasses for young children, which lacked diversity in sizes according to age due to the small market scope under the old mass production system, by taking advantage of 3D printers' strength in the small batch production of customized products and propose a practical example to be expandable as a small-size business model. For these purposes, the investigator summarized the basic information about the 3D printing technology and the basic structure of sunglasses and made a size table to manufacture sunglasses for young children by analyzing the size table for vision correction. After this series of work, the study presented final product with the production costs and demonstrated that sunglasses for young children made with a 3D printer could be a practical case expandable as a competitive small-size business model in the market.

본 논문은 최근 3D 프린터가 새로운 창작툴로 디자이너들에게 관심을 받고 있으나 수익창출과 연결될 수 있는 비즈니스 모델에 대한 정보는 부족하다는 판단 하에, 커스터마이징(customizing)된 제품의 소량생산이라는 3D 프린터의 강점을 활용, 기존의 대량생산 체제에서는 작은 시장규모로 인하여 연령에 따른 다양한 크기를 시장에 제공치 못하고 있는 현 미취학 유아동 선글라스 제품을 3D 프린터로 실제작, 소규모 비즈니스 모델로의 확장이 가능한 실질적 예를 제시하는 것에 연구의 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 3D 프린팅 기술에 대한 기본정보와 선글라스의 기본구조를 요약한 후, 시력교정용 안경사이즈표를 분석하여 유아동 선글라스 제작을 위한 사이즈표를 도출하고 일련의 작업들을 진행한 뒤, 최종적으로 실제품을 제작비용과 함께 제시, 본 연구의 결과가 시장에서 경쟁력 있는 제품으로서 소규모 비즈니스 모델로의 확장이 가능한 실질적 예가 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
