The abilities of understanding spatial relations, spatial orientation, and spatial visualization affect 3D product design performance: using carton box design as an example

摘要: Three-dimensional (3D) product design is an essential ability that students of subjects related to must acquire. The factors affect designers’ performance in 3D are numerous, one which spatial abilities. Studies have reported abilities can be used effectively predict people’s conducting complex operations. Nevertheless, few studies explored the relationship between and design. Spatial a type mental comprises numerous factors. Carton box typical standardized design, affected by they possess. most crucial factor among these space conversion ability, convert two-dimensional (2D) surface developments into perspective views carton boxes 2D plans. These operations require in-depth perception objects, understanding relative relations visualization. In this study, was as example investigate, using structural equation modeling, effects understand relations, orientation, visualization on results indicated all three (i.e., visualization) directly influence Therefore, vital affecting
