Task: Develop a

Product Prototype
•What is a Product Prototype?
•The Merriam-Webster dictionary
defines a prototype as an
“original model on which
something is patterned”.
•a prototype is a real-life, 3D
version of your product idea.
• A prototype is an initial creation
of a product that shows the
basics of what a product will
look like.
Four broad categories based on their function and complexity:

Visual prototype: The visual prototype is


meant to showcase the size and shape of the
final product. It doesn’t have the
functionality, materials, or mass of the
product. Rather, it simply represents its
dimensions.
“Proof of concept”:
• This is a rudimentary model meant to demonstrate
the functions and feasibility of the idea, that is, to
prove that the concept can actually work. You’ll
usually use materials available at hand to create this
prototype. It doesn’t have to look, feel, or even work
as the final result; it simply has to show that the idea
is viable.
Presentation prototype:
• As the name suggests, this is a presentation-ready
version of the product. It is functional and has the same
appearance as the product. You can show this prototype
to investors, manufacturers, and prospective customers to
give them an idea what the final result will look like. This
prototype is usually made from custom materials and
manufacturing techniques.
Pre-production prototype:
• This is a modified version of the presentation
prototype. It has the same functionality but is
built using production-ready materials and
methods. Manufacturers will often look at the
pre-production prototype to figure out how to
mass-produce the product.
Advantages of prototype
• 1. Prototype helps you test and rectify your plan and design
• 2. It helps you check the performance of various products
and materials
• 3. A pre-made model will help you describe your theory more
effectively
• 4. A three-dimensional vision of your plan will encourage
others to take your project more seriously
Qualities Of A Good Prototype

• Generally, a prototype is considered to be a complete


prototype only if it possesses these following
characteristics
• Representation: A prototype is a rudimentary
representation of the actual product. It represents
how the product will look and/or work like.
• Precision: More precise the prototype, better the
response and feedback.
• Functional: A good prototype performs the basic
functions of the actual product (if possible).
• Improvision: A good prototype is one which can be
improvised on with minimum effort. This one of the
most important aspect of prototyping as a prototype
is subject to many improvisations.
