The complexities and unique requirements of entrepreneurship commercialization require novel prototyping approaches that go beyond their traditional application in engineering design. Prototyping, as a key part Design Thinking, can address these by focusing on creative problem-solving supporting entrepreneurs’ reasoning. broader are not explicitly addressed existing tools instances inefficient ...

A Rapid prototyping method for parallel systems is presented. The aim of our approach is to provide a rapid prototyping tool. Source formalism consists of coloured Petri nets. These allow powerful modelization and rely on a strong theoretical basis from which behavioural validation can be inferred. One major problem of Rapid Prototyping is environment integration. We propose a method which allo...

This report provides an insight into the technology of virtual prototyping and its application in the field of design, engineering, production and product development. The report reviews the concept of virtual and digital prototyping, discusses the historical developments and technology, explores some of the wider implications and benefits of the technology, details specific industry applicatio...

This article aims to explain how transformational change can be achieved through service design process and methods, especially through service prototyping, and how the learning process enables change. Results are based on case study research conducted in a service prototyping laboratory, SINCO (Service Innovation Corner), during a MediPro (Practices, Processes and Products for Medicine and Hea...

Firms that design mechanical and electromechanical products confront a variety of difficult issues in their prototyping activities. For a given part, how can a choice among fabrication technologies be made? Where should investments in new prototyping technology be focused? How can new and existing prototyping technologies he evaluated? Our primary goal has been to develop a systematic method of...

In a highly innovative market, wireless systems nowadays undergo very short production cycles. Due to these tough timing constraints, the time-consuming process of prototyping is often neglected, jeopardizing the entire product becoming successful. Heavy application of automatic tools can allow for rapid prototyping overcoming this unfortunate situation and de-risking the product challenge. How...

Prototyping is a well-studied activity in the field of human-computer interaction and interaction design, but its role in computer game design is relatively unexplored. It is clear though that prototyping is an important part of game design (Fullerton 2008, Fullerton et al 2006, Glinert 2010, Salen & Zimmerman 2004 Schell 2008). New game technologies are rapidly developing, which means that new...

The concept of Augmented Prototyping combines Rapid Prototyping techniques (e.g. Stereolithography, CNC milling) with Augmented Reality systems. The aim is to establish a high sense of engagement in the design process, supporting both exploration and presentation. In this paper, two Augmented Prototyping Systems are discussed: kitchen layout and a nightclub interior. These differ in a variety o...

the early computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (cad/cam) systems were relied exclusively on subtractive methods. in recent years, additive methods by employing rapid prototyping (rp) have progressed rapidly in various fields of dentistry as they have the potential to overcome known drawbacks of subtractive techniques such as fit problems. rp techniques have been exploited to build...

Abstract Prototyping is essential for fuzzy front-end product development. The prototyping process answers questions about critical assumptions and supports design decisions, but it often unstructured context-dependent. Previously, we showed how to guide novice designers in early development stages with milestones. Here, studied the success perceived by teams. This was done two steps: (1) teams...
