  1. v1.2 prototype (noun) a learning tool as part of a

    product development process not, a proof of concept a product candidate looks-like vs works-like
  2. v1.2 objectives test: form > how does it look? feel?

    function > does it behave as expected? material > extra strength? more flexibility? production > manufacture at scale?
  3. v1.2 processes* 2D Sketching Laser Cutting 3D CAD Foam core/Paper

    3D printing Silicone molding 4D Video *available in Nigeria
  4. v1.2 laser cutting good for displays cuts various materials can

    prototype PCBs slower easily replicated Nisense, by Notonlab
  5. v1.2 CAD suitable for analysis FEM enabled (plugins) slow requires

    expertise requirement for scale SolidWorks
  6. v1.2 silicone molding urethane casting good for products that should

    handle food can employ 3D printed masters a mold can be used up to 50 times cheap -> $57 - $70 kits Stratasys
  7. v1.2 extra plan your prototyping process understand the technique build

    it into your CAD sketch extensively -> at the early stages ask for help may the force be with you
