Ⅰ：what is rapid prototyping?
Rapid prototyping (RP)is an agile strategy used throughout the product development process. With this approach, 3-dimensional prototypes of a product or feature are created and tested to optimize characteristics like shape, size, and overall usability.
RP quickly creates a physical part directly from its CAD model data using various manufacturing techniques. It can be used at any stage of the product development cycle for any components or sub-components.
Rapid prototyping in 3 easy steps
RP prioritizes speed, so it’s limited in scope—but even a quick mockup can stress-test and improve a product design. The three-step RP process is basically a loop that repeats until you’ve got a prototype that resonates with your users.
The main steps are:
- Build. Create mock-ups of a design concept or flow, keeping your users’ needs and company’s goals in mind.
- Review. Test your prototype with target users and key stakeholders to learn whether it meets expectations.
- Refine. Adjust the prototype based on the feedback you receive.
Ⅱ：Why choosing rapid prototyping?
- First, it can streamline workflows, facilitate communication, and reduce product development risk.
- Second, it can breaks down communication barriers and fills in the gaps.
