Title: Construct a prototype.
Course: Technical Drawing and Design (21101-18) > Section: Producing Prototypes

Construction of scaled replicas or full-sized prototypes may include the following elements:

- Materials with similar properties of those that are proposed for production
- Functional components
- Design standards, including form, function, and quality

Process/Skill Questions:

- How are problems with the prototype determined?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of constructing prototypes?
- What are factors to consider when determining the type of prototype to construct?
- How might improving the prototype also improve the design and final product?
- How does a static model differ from a working model?
