Write a blog post about your learnings and understanding of Industrial design prototyping. Do some research on the future of prototyping and give examples of where you think prototyping will go in the future.
There are multiple roles that prototypes play, in between sketching, after sketching, and helping resketching. Just as it says in the video, “the best prototypes move your design forward”, building a prototype can give you a brief understanding of how the design goes so far, and let you see the problems. While after the stretching, the prototype will show how your final design goes while interacting with real life and customers, thus giving you more ideas about how to improve it.
Here are some tips that I have learned from the video:
-Don’t be afraid to fail. In order to make an idea work, it is possible that we might have to make lots of prototypes.
-By making prototypes, you can test the feasibility of your idea, highlight problems, use them in focus groups for feedback, and refine your design.
-visual appearance model + prototype -> close to finished design. make prototypes before visual appearance models.
-rapid prototyping is not always the best choice. When we are designing big things, it can be hard for us to prototype 1:1
-progress to prototyping as soon as possible.
Future of prototyping:
I think there’s a brand new way for rapid prototyping to go: 3D VR drawing
This drawing method can be used in rapid prototyping,
