What’s a prototype?

A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from.

It is an important part of R&D and helps designers to realize a their IDEA into a SOLID MODEL in a very short time.

Why a prototype is needed?

To test the appearance or function of a newly designed product or just a part of a product so as to avoid risks before put a new product in the market.

What are the differences between a prototype and a final product?

1. Materials—A prototype uses materials with properties that simulate the intended final material.

2. Process—It is easier to make a prototype and often takes shorter times, say, 3-7 days, which helps to saves time and cost.

3. Function—To make prototypes is to test the appearance or function the final product or be used as samples in exhibitions.
