What is the benefit of building a prototype?

Prototypes allow engineers to plan a design.

Prototypes allow engineers to test a design before making more.

Prototypes allow scientists to visualize their ideas.

Prototypes allow scientists to model a design before choosing the right one.

Conduct research on feature for the new drill

Build a prototype of the new drill

Determine the materials needed to build the new drill

Design a computer model of the new drill

Test the prototype to evaluate its performance.

Ask for funding to build more copies of the prototype.

Build a second prototype that is different from the first.

Make changes to the prototype that will increase its performance.

Constraints are the required materials, design, and amount of time needed to develop a product.

Constraints are examples of prototypes.

The research which is done to determine information that should be used in the development of new products.

Constraints are restrictions of items which can’t be used, limitations on time, and limitations of design.
