Creating and testing a product prototype.pptx

this lesson is about creating and testing a product prototype.

1. Creating and testing a product prototype

2. What is prototype? Derives from the Greek “ prototypon ”, meaning primitive form, neutral of “prototypes” where “protos” means first and “typos” means impression. Representation of a product.

3. What is prototype? A duplication of a product as it will be produced One of the important early steps in the inventing process

4. What is prototype? created before the massive production of such product Can be in the following forms: paper, 3D printing, digital, small model or limited usage product.

5. BENEFITS TO HAVE PROTOTYPE Customers can decide to buy the products such as affordability, efficiency or ease of use.

6. What should a prototype look like? First, it depends on your idea. Second, depends on your budget and goals.

7. Types of prototype Vision prototype a common communication platform – using them to get everyone on the same page.

8. Types of prototype 2. Conceptual prototype work thorough design – for designers and developers, prototypes act as a way to work through your design.

9. Types of prototype 3. Consensus prototype Sell your idea internally – using them to sell your design solution to internal stake holders.

10. Types of prototype 4. Technical prototype Gauge technical feasibility – designers want to do X, but can engineering do it? Do we have the resources? Is it worth the effort?

11. Types of prototype 5. Demo As a marketing tool – while similar to number 3, this is for an external audience.

12. Types of prototype Throwaway - the creation of a model that will eventually be discarded rather than becoming part of the final delivered software.

13. Types of prototype 2. Evolutionary - a lifecycle model in which the system is developed in increments so that it can readily be modified in response to end-user and customer feedback

14. Types of prototype 3. Increment - involves a series of prototypes being created, each one representing a refined version and intended to represent the final product

15. Types of prototype 4. Extreme - used especially for developing web applications

16. Forms of Prototypes Physical - an unambiguous representation of a concept Digital (different system) – autocad , photoshop, or paper and pen

17. 4 steps to create product prototype Create Concept Sketch Help you visualize your prototype Develop a Virtual Prototype Help you see approximately how physical version of your design will look.

18. 4 steps to create product prototype Build a Physical Prototype You may find flaws that need to be corrected before you seek patent. Locate a Manufacturer Manufacturer that can produce your product at a profitable price.

19. Advantages of PROTOTYPES Enables you to test and refine of your design. Makes it possible to test the performance of various materials. It will help you describe your product effectively. Encourage others to take you more seriously.

23. HOW TO PROPERLY TEST A PRODUCT PROTOTYPE The usability Factor have strangers to try out the product prototype and allowing a third – party to record their experiences is a great idea.

24. HOW TO PROPERLY TEST A PRODUCT PROTOTYPE 2. Have testers complete various tasks with the prototype Before handing off the prototype to a test group, there’s a need to develop a series of core tasks for them to perform.

25. HOW TO PROPERLY TEST A PRODUCT PROTOTYPE 3. Allow the prototype testers to offer suggestions The last thing an owner/entrepreneur want to do as an inventor is to ignore feedback from the people who test the prototypes.

26. HOW TO PROPERLY TEST A PRODUCT PROTOTYPE 3. Allow the prototype testers to offer suggestions Being unwilling to change the design can lead to lots of problems in the long run. Taking these suggestions and actually using them can help take the product to the next level.

27. ACTIVITY 3: How to create a prototype in product development project Objective: Learn the different kinds of prototype, uses, guidelines, tips and other important matters before creating a good prototype. Procedure: 1 .Watch How to Create a Prototype in Product Development Projects 2 .Take note of important data or details of the video.
