The testing can take many forms, from mechanical to aesthetic, and this approach has been very successful for many product companies. Today you’ll typically see desktop 3D printers in product design companies for this exact purpose. It’s faster, cheaper and allows for more iterations.

This is the idea that you’re not producing a proposed final product, but instead a representation of the design. This item can then be used for obtaining feedback. It’s subtly different from prototyping where you’re […]
