Prototyping is interwoven with nearly all product, service, and systems development efforts. A prototype is a pre-production representation of some aspect of a concept or final design. Prototyping often predetermines a large portion of resource deployment in development and influences design project success. This review surveys literature sources in engineering, management, design science, and architecture. The study is focused around design prototyping for early stage design. Insights are synthesized from critical review of the literature: key objectives of prototyping, critical review of major techniques, relationships between techniques, and a strategy matrix to connect objectives to techniques. The review is supported with exemplar prototypes provided from industrial design efforts. Techniques are roughly categorized into those that improve the outcomes of prototyping directly, and those that enable prototyping through lowering of cost and time. Compact descriptions of each technique provide a foundation to compare the potential benefits and drawbacks of each. The review concludes with a summary of key observations, highlighted opportunities in the research, and a vision of the future of prototyping. This review aims to provide a resource for designers as well as set a trajectory for continuing innovation in the scientific research of design prototyping.

In Search for Shared Characteristics of Physical and Virtual Prototypes

2023

Prototyping is essential for knowledge acquisition and, thus, for informed decision-making in product development. The gold standard is still the use of physical prototypes. However, with the increase in computing capacity, it is becoming easier also to use virtual prototypes.The selection of prototyping approaches often starts with the distinction between physical and virtual prototypes and therefore excluding a broad range of possibilities early on.This paper explains why a selection of prototypes based on the distinction between physical and virtual is not necessarily the best solution and suggests a selection approach based on characteristics which offer the possibility to avoid this limitation. Therefore the characteristics of physical prototypes commonly used in literature are analysed and reduced to a generally valid selection. Examples of virtual prototypes are selected and analysed regarding their characteristics. All elaborated characteristics are then tested for their applicability to the examples of virtual prototypes.
