Taking crawler crane as subject investigated, this paper presents the integration of modularizing and parameterizing design technology, by which crawler crane is parameterized and disassembled into several modules. Several modules build up a design element, and then many design elements forms into a advanced design unit. Added to these, advanced program language and redevelopment technology of Solid Edge are applied to establish a CelerityDesign platform, with the help of which the designing swiftness of products and goal of innovativeness by modules reorganizing are realized. In general, this research demonstrates a new way in terms of quick and flexible design of mechanical products.
