Purchase options and add-ons
Building prototypes and models is an essential component of any design activity. Modern product development is a multi-disciplinary effort that relies on prototyping in order to explore new ideas and test them sufficiently before they become actual products. Prototyping and Modelmaking for Product Designers illustrates how prototypes are used to help designers understand problems better, explore more imaginative solutions, investigate human interaction more fully and test functionality so as to de-risk the design process. Following an introduction on the purpose of prototyping, specific materials, tools and techniques are examined in detail, with step-by-step tutorials and industry examples of real and successful products illustrating how prototypes are used to help solve design problems. Workflow is also discussed, using a mixture of hands on and digital tools. A comprehensive modern prototyping approach is crucial to making informed design decisions, and forms a strategic part of a successful designer's toolkit.

Un buen libro para aprender lo básico del prototipado
Reviewed in Mexico on 17 February 2022Verified Purchase
Este libro lo compré hace tiempo pero creo que viene muy completo. Lo recomiendo mucho para estudiantes o aquellos que quieren aprender un poco sobre el prototipado de sus productos. Viene super detallado con imágenes de las etapas del proceso de prototipado.

Arrivato rovinato
Reviewed in Italy on 15 October 2021Verified Purchase
Il libro è molto interessante, ma è arrivato con le pagine in alto attaccate tra di loro e con i bordi molto rovinati
