Based on the systematic analysis on the principles of conceptual design, the key technologies of functional surface reasoning in product growth design are discussed. Firstly, the basic concept of product growth design, functional surface as well as Generalized Positioning Principle (GPP) are given. Secondly, the functional design principles based on function surface reasoning are proposed, in which three reasoning rules on relationships among functional surfaces are developed. Thirdly, by transferring the product motion into its relative mechanical transmission, functional-surfaces relationship reasoning strategies are put forward based on kinematic joints. Those methods offer good analyses and descriptions of the orderly evolution process of the product function and structure, in a proper sequence from functional requirements to functional models, then to product motion transmission chain, finally to functional surface pairs constructing the product motion transmission chain. Finally, an example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
