[ หˆprษ™สŠtษ™taษชpษชล‹ ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

design process

Prototyping is the process of creating an early model or sample of a product to test and validate concepts before full-scale production. This iterative approach allows designers to make necessary adjustments, gather user feedback, and minimize costs. Prototypes can vary in fidelity, from low-fidelity paper models to high-fidelity interactive versions, depending on the stage of development.

Synonyms

drafting, modeling, simulation

Examples of usage

  • The team used rapid prototyping to test new features quickly.
  • Prototyping allows for gathering user feedback before the final build.
  • We created a prototype to visualize the product's layout.

Word origin

The term 'prototyping' originates from the word 'prototype', which itself comes from the Greek roots 'protos', meaning 'first', and 'typos', meaning 'impression' or 'model'. The concept of a prototype dates back to ancient times when artisans or craftsmen created initial models to test the practicality or design of their works. With the rise of industrialization in the 19th century, the method of prototyping evolved, incorporating more advanced techniques and concepts. In the 20th century, especially with the advent of computer-aided design (CAD), prototyping became more sophisticated and integral to product development in various industries including automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics. Today, prototyping is a critical phase in design thinking methodologies, allowing teams to innovate rapidly and efficiently.
