Answers question about the design (proof of concept)
Known as focus type
-this type of prototyping is not fully functional
Used to explore new ideas
Communication
gather feed back from user
Ensure made to customer's needs
Used to test market demand
plan production and costs
Integration
Integrate with other components liike
electronic circuit
mechanical parts
Ensure fit for functionality
almost a complete version
Milestone
Milestone/goal for development schedule
Prototype can be in different forms base on the phase of development
Must be made quick to make decisions fast
Reduce errors before planning for production
save tooling cost due to rework
planning for prototyping
step 1: define purpose of prototype
step 2: establish level of detail of prototype
how close to the final product
-Physical or Analytical
step 3: Outline experimental plan
ensure enough data is collected
plan the experiment
define test protocol
measurement techniques
result analysis
step 4: create a schedule for construction & tests
treat prototyping as a sub-project
apply project management skills
eg. smoke test date, final result date
