CMF is the abbreviation of Color, Material, and Finishing. As a new specialty in the field of design and manufacturing, it is common in large enterprises. There are CMF design posts and CMF engineering posts (material engineers, process engineers). The current CMF, which extends to CMF standards and strategic management, is in the process of vigorous development.
CMF design can make more money for enterprises and save money at the same time, that is, CMF design can improve product added value and sense of luxury, enhance brand image, and can also help enterprises shorten R&D cycle, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve differentiated competition.
This article will introduce the concept, characteristics and application of CMF design.

1. The concept of CMF design
CMF design is a design method that focuses on product color, material and surface treatment. Color is the basic element of human perception and vision, material is the physical characteristics of the product, and surface treatment is the visual and tactile effect of the product.
The CMF design organically integrates the three, not only to complete the aesthetic function of the product, but also to meet the functional needs, so that the performance of the product and the texture of the material can be better combined to improve the user experience and market competitiveness of the product.

2. The characteristics of CMF design
1) Closely related to user needs:
CMF design starts from the user's point of view and aims to meet the user's needs for aesthetics and functionality. The color, material, and surface treatment of the product are all for the user.
2)Combining market trends and brand identity:
CMF design keeps up with market trends, combines brand identity elements, and injects unique brand style and sense of the times into products.
3)Pay attention to detail processing:
CMF design needs to be designed from both overall and detail aspects, so as to make the product appearance more quality and artistic.

4)Focus on innovation and breakthrough:
CMF design needs to show the uniqueness and differentiated competitiveness of products through continuous innovation and breakthrough of traditional models.
5)Pursue material texture and process realization:
CMF design needs to pay attention to the selection of materials and the realization of craftsmanship to achieve better product texture and experience.
6)Closely combined with engineering design.
CMF design is closely combined with engineering design to achieve good unity of product structure and appearance.
3. Application of CMF Design
1)Furniture:
CMF design can make furniture more artistic and practical. For example, the Le Bambole sofa of B&B uses a surface full of tension to create a rich expressiveness. The delicate texture enjoys the ingenuity and shows its charm, luxury and softness to the fullest. Make it a classic that spans half a century.

2)Home appliances:
CMF design can make the appearance of home appliances stand out, such as Bosch rock porcelain door refrigerators, carbon pottery innovates the material of traditional black pottery, and adds bamboo charcoal particles into clay, so that charcoal pottery can be better used in the daily life of the public.


3)Electronic products:
CMF design can improve the appearance texture and user experience of electronic products. For example, the design of Beosound A5 is inspired by many aspects, including B&O's iconic Beolit series and natural materials with the same colors and textures as in Scandinavian nature.

4)Cars:
CMF design can improve the brand image and experience of the car, such as the Rolls-Royce pure electric car Spectre, which still continues the classic design elements of the brand. The unobtrusive headlights, long and narrow LED daytime running lights, including the longitudinally arranged LED light strips at the rear of the car, all show the avant-garde style of the new car.


4. Characteristics of CMF Industry
The CMF industry has entered the 2.0 era. Over the years, the meaning and value of CMF have been being interpreted. Enterprises that value research and development have established CMF departments and built CMF teams.
Everyone knows what CMF is, but LIANYI CMF INNOVATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE believes that: the industry's CMF needs to have a deeper and more systematic value, how to systematically plan and how to conduct in-depth research is the common focus of the industry in the next stage.

CMF SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION
The construction of CMF system is very important. For enterprises, CMF work is an important means to quickly increase the added value of products, increase product profits, prolong product life cycle, and improve efficiency, and its existence is not isolated.
For enterprises, CMF is an important means to quickly increase the added value of products, increase product profits, extend product life cycle, and improve efficiency.
Its existence is not isolated, and it requires the establishment of a complete system to ensure the realizability of its products, from the bottom-level team role positioning to the cognition of process materials.From the conventional CMF common design process to the individual evolution of different types of fields, from the balance of process materials in the development process to the establishment of a gradient management system, from the goal management and function building of the CMF team, to the establishment and empowerment of supply chain resources.
Finally to the methods and norms of external cooperation. The construction of this systematic system can not only maximize the discourse power of CMF in product design, and more importantly, realize the value of CMF from multiple dimensions.
The expert team of LIANYI CMF INNOVATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE has 10-20 years of experience.
Aiming at the development of the CMF industry, it has accumulated a large number of cases and experience output. The following are some modules. We are willing to conduct more in-depth joint research with corporate customers who recognize the value of CMF.

The innovative design of CMF for designers is not limited to basics. To achieve and respond to the comprehensive improvement from cognition to depth, from concept to method, from time to implementation in CMF design, and more effectively respond to various complex problems.
What our course can provide is a systematic, detailed, and complete theoretical system. All cases and methodologies come from innovative practices, and all theoretical knowledge points are based on experience and practice.
The improvement of professional abilities we bring is not only the accumulation and transformation of various knowledge points, but also the formation of systematic cognition at the thinking level. Systematic methodology is the foundation of innovation ability.
