Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional packaging design processes are complex, time-consuming, and costly, with long design cycles and inefficient manual processes, making frequent updates to product packaging designs impractical.

Innovation Solution

A three-dimensional model processing method and apparatus that generates a virtual three-dimensional model based on a template, combines it with a target picture using a generative network, and performs superposition processing to produce a final design result, which can be directly printed, eliminating the need for manual model proofing and picture placement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional manual packaging design processes are used, then design flexibility and customization are possible, but design cycle time and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign flexibilityVSAvoiddesign cycle time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses three-dimensional model templates as reusable copies that can be rapidly instantiated and modified. Instead of creating packaging designs from scratch each time, the system loads pre-defined 3D model templates and applies graphic and textual information to them, dramatically reducing design cycle time while maintaining flexibility through parameter customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining three-dimensional model templates with standardized structures and configurations. These templates are prepared in advance and stored for rapid deployment, allowing the design system to skip the time-consuming modeling phase and directly proceed to customization and rendering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional manual packaging design processes are used, then complex design adjustments can be made, but manufacturing cost and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign customizationVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses 3D model templates as reusable digital copies that eliminate the need for repeated manual modeling and proofing. By loading templates and applying graphic information through automated processes, the system reduces process complexity while maintaining design customization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical design processes with automated computer-based rendering and composition systems. Instead of physically creating and adjusting packaging models manually, the system uses software to automatically combine 3D templates with graphic and textual information, reducing both human labor and process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If traditional manual packaging design processes are used, then quality control is possible, but production efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign qualityVSAvoiddesign efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system ensures design quality through consistent use of standardized 3D model templates that are pre-approved and validated. By repeatedly using these verified templates rather than creating new models each time, the system maintains reliability while dramatically improving design efficiency through automated rendering and composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service through automated rendering and composition processes that automatically combine 3D templates with graphic and textual information according to predefined rules. This automation maintains quality control without requiring manual intervention at each step, thereby improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
