Rapid Prototyping
Prototyping is a crucial step in the larger product design and development process. Prototypes allow organizations to stress-test their ideas, evaluate form factor and appearance, assess feasibility and production requirements, and ultimately produce a solid proof of concept. But prototyping can be a surprisingly challenging undertaking: it requires sourcing different materials and parts, possibly incorporating mechanical engineering alongside industrial design, and combining skillsets to produce a single, tangible prototype.
