연구배경 그동안 해양레저 분야에서 많은 연구들이 수행되었지만 산업 활성화를 위한 기반연구에 치중되었고 양산형 해양레저장비 디자인 연구는 충분하지 않았다. 또한 최근 들어 급격하게 확대되는 해양레저장비 시장의 추세와 함께 이로 인한 해양환경 오염 또한 큰 사회 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 디자인개발에서부터 제품설계를 포함한 프로토타입 제작에 이르기까지 양산형 바디보드 개발을 위한 일련의 과정에 관한 것으로 최근의 시장현황과 환경문제 등을 고려해 볼 때 시기적으로 매우 적절하며 그 중요성 또한 높다.
연구방법 국내 청소년을 위한 친환경 바디보드 개발을 위한 본 연구는 디자인 전문기업, 대학 연구실, 아웃도어용품 전문 개발기업 및 발포성형 전문기업이 공동으로 참여하여 기획단계에서부터 생산에 이르기까지 전 과정에 걸쳐 유기적으로 협력하였다. 제품개발 방향 설정을 위한 폭 넓은 문헌조사와 시장현황을 분석하였으며, 최종 디자인 도출을 위하여 바디라인 탐색을 위한 스케치, 보드 형태 및 유동성 검토를 위한 3D 모델링, 코어 형상 분석을 위한 섹션 보드 목업 작업이 수행되었다. 또한 3차례에 걸친 프로토타입 제작과 이를 활용한 표적집단면접 및 사용성 평가를 거쳐 최종 디자인이 완성되었다.
연구결과 본 연구결과인 친환경 바디보드는 내부 코어를 네오프렌으로 덮는 혁신적인 방법으로 제작되어 내부 코어와 외부 스킨을 동시에 제작할 수 있게 공정을 변화시킴으로써 원가 절감에 크게 기여했다. 또한 사용 중 내부 코어가 파손되더라도 외부에 스킨이 감싸고 있어서 밖으로 튀어 나가지 않아 해양오염의 원인을 원천적으로 차단하였으며 외부 스킨에 손상이 있을 경우에도 세척할 수 있기 때문에 제품수명을 현저히 늘릴 수 있다. 그리고 국내 청소년의 신체특성에 맞게 기술표준원의 인체치수 데이터에 기초하여 그 크기가 정해졌고 우리나라 해양특성에 맞게 보드의 유형과 형태가 결정되었다.
결론 저가의 중국산 단순 부력 패널과 고 가격·기능의 수입 보드로 명확히 구분되어 있는 국내 보드시장에서 사용 중 보드가 파손되더라도 사용자는 내부 코어만을 교체하여 사용할 수 있게 한 혁신적인 보드의 개념은 합리적인 가격과 차별화된 디자인과 함께 틈새시장을 확고하게 점유할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
Background Though there have been a number of studies in the field of marine leisure up to recently, most of the studies have mainly focused on the invigoration of the marine leisure industry and there have not been enough design studies on marine leisure equipment. Also, the pollution of the marine environment caused by equipment has become a serious social problem. This paper shows a logical process for the development of a body board including designing and prototyping, and the development of an eco-friendly body board is very important and timely. Methods A cooperative system with a leisure goods specialized company, a design firm, a university research laboratory, and an expanded forming specialized company has been built for an integrated approach. The study shows a successful integrated research case where research participants have close relationship to the planning and design up to the production phase. The final design was delivered through the process of sketches, 3D modeling, and a section-board mock-up. Furthermore, there have been three iterations of prototypes, and an F.G.I and usability test with the final prototype. Result The eco-friendly body board that is a result of this study comes into being through an innovative method in which a skin with a piece of neoprene enwraps the core of the board. This way of manufacturing made the costs low by producing the core and skin at the same time. Also, there would be no possibility of environmental pollution, because if the core is cracked, the broken pieces are still inside the neoprene skin. This innovative feature of the board extends the life of a board by cleaning the neoprene skin when the skin gets dirty. Furthermore, the final design has been decided with attention tp the physical characteristics of Korean teenagers as well as oceanographic characteristics in terms of the size, type, and shape. Conclusion The domestic market for body boards is divided into two sides: imported boards from Europe and North America with high prices and quality and cheap boards from China. The result of this study, its innovative concept for a body board, is expected to dominate the market in advance with its unique feature of a neoprene skin, as well as its reasonable price and quality design.
