It is the basic theory of form design. In jewelry design, product design and other design fields, the design of three-dimensional form is very critical. Form are closely related with both material and technology. Therefore, the book can be used as the theoretical basis of form design in jewelry design and product design in China. This theoretical research is of guiding significance for the form creative design of jewelry design, product design and other majors.
