Modular Design Based on Platonic Solid Polyhedrons Through a Parametric Design Approach

Abstract

The Platonic Solid Polyhedron Geometry Shape is the basis of an interesting regular 3D geometric shape to be used as study material in developing ideas and concepts for creative and innovative product designs. In this research, one of the study materials that will be discussed is focused on analyzing and exploring parameters or references for modular design based on solid platonic polyhedron geometric shapes using a parametric design method approach. The aim of this research is to find the parameters needed to determine the formation of a 3D modular design that has novelty value in harmony with each geometric shape of the Platonic Solid polyhedron. The benefits of the research are expected to be able to find guidelines or parameters that can be applied in the stages of the design process, production process and assembly process for modular designs based on platonic solid polyhedrons. Through a parametric design method approach, in its implementation to find the novelty value of this modular design based on platonic solid polyhedrons, this is done by exploring and analyzing the structure of the five forms of platonic solid polyhedrons so as to find design parameters that are considered algorithmically through 2D drawing software and 3D digital modeling. on the computer. It is hoped that the resulting output can contribute to knowledge insight within the scope of the field of product design studies, in developing various variants of ideas and functional product design ideas based on modular designs that are creative, varied and innovative, and can be utilized to open opportunities of economic value in the world of creative industry.
