The kind of prototype used should fit the needs of the projectespecially since there is often a significant cost involved.Reading A Typical prototyping methods include clay (or other) mocku

9、p, fabrication and machining, and rapid prototyping. Mockups are typically done very early in the design for visualization and feel, and to allow adjustments or fiddling with shape and size. Fabricated prototypes are typically functional versions that may or may not look like the final product but g

A whole host of service bureaus have sprung up to meet the need, so for more information, a quick web search will usually yield an overload of information. Reading A Regardless of methods, proto

12、types should be thought of as toolsfor learning, for visualization and for design improvement. However, these tools are costly both in time and money. So, before diving into the prototyping phase, there are a few questions you should ask: Is a prototype desirable or necessary? Is there a need for de

13、sign verification? Is testing needed for design improvement? Dose the design make best use of existing information? Reading A Depending upon your answers to these questions, and the product itself, a prototype may or may not be necessaryor perhaps more importantly, it may be that only parts of the d

This is not to say that prototypes should not be built, just to emphasize that prototyping is costly in both time and money, so the need should be evaluated.Reading A原型制作原型制作 原型制作是产品开发的验证阶段，用以演示和验证设计原型制作是产品开发的验证阶段，用以演示和验证设计的各个方面，即把设计从虚拟、想象的层面带入现实世界。的各个方面，即把设计从虚拟、想象的层面带入现实世界。R
