With the development of the global technology and the development of numerical control technology, numerical control machine tool has become the main processing equipment in modern manufacturing industry. Service in the industrial design of numerical control machine tool also with the development of science and technology and social progress, from the simple to the appearance of numerical control machine tool design, to the application and aesthetic design, industrial design goals by simply for the design of the United States and the design of the use of the design around the use of. However, the field of industrial design is still unable to reflect the product positioning as a kind of modern intelligent processing tools, and the design of CNC machine tools is lack of the guiding theory. This article from the Internet era of people's needs, the paper discusses the content and development direction of the Internet era of industrial design, aimed at providing a strong support for the industrial design of CNC machine tools.
