This research was carried out as part of the research in order to construct design support system for the industrial product. The research purpose are consideration on inference model applied to the design support system and construction of design support system for the printing machine. In the first half of the research, the study on the inference model for applying to design support system was carried out. The following were taken up as inference models: multivariate regression model, fuzzy inference model and neural network. To begin with, experimental systems using these models were constructed. Then, the simulation, which acquired the design plan was carried out using the simple form. This result was examined from the viewpoint of the relation between design plan and inference model. As a result of the consideration, the fuzzy inference model was chosen for design support system constructed here as an appropriate inference model. In the latter half of the research, the design support system using fuzzy inference was constructed. As a case of supported product, the printing machine was chosen. The reason is because the design of this machine is researched as a development of the fundamental shape. In addition, it is because the application of the system constructed here can be expected in such product. Using the constructed system, simulation was performed in order to acquire the design plan. As the result, it was shown that the design plan in proportion to a demand could be acquired.
