Prototypes are the samples of your product to touch, feel and learn the physical form. It enables us to trajected the product development process towards efficient and highly functional built.

What is Prototype

Prototypes is a sample or model built of the product or concept or test model or process

• To be a visual or physical property,
• To learn the functionality, aesthetic, ergonomics and built requirements,
• To evaluate the context requirements, design, mechanics, electronics, hardware and software interfaces and the response of the model to the working and operating conditions.

Prototypes intermediates between the form in the idea in our imagination and the actual look, feel and function in the physical form .

Types of Prototypes:

There are various types of prototypes made for a definite purpose during the product development phase

• Functional Prototype/Working Prototype
• Proof of principle/concept/mechanics
• Form study prototype
• Visual /Illustrative prototype
• User Experience Prototype
• Aesthetic and Ergonomic forms
• Sample process prototypes
• Prototypes for Prototypes
• Manufacture prototypes

Based on the detailing in the prototype, the prototypes can be of 3 types

• High- fidelity
• Medium-fidelity
• Low-fidelity

Why make Prototype?

• Prototypes help to validate and learn the design in the various phases of the development process.
• Designs involving several mechanisms and systems requires detailed study to learn the function and response to one another
• Fitment, assembly sequencing, Tolerance and other mechanical setup feasibilities can be studies
• User experience, ergonomic catch, aesthetic presence, reliability and bounding shapes can be felt and experienced
• Risks of assembly, integration, fabrication and manufacturing can be assessed and can be mitigated
• Using 3D and CAE process during the product development phase helps to increase the fidelity and highly functional prototypes and provide us to reduce the cost and time consumption
• Prototypes help to plan the design trajectory to further development process and improvise the products in different aspects of requirements
• A prototype gives immense learning on the design and feel the outputs which would positively reinforce for better product development approaches and knowledge
