PROTOTYPING
Prototyping refers to the process of creating a preliminary model or sample of a
product, system, or concept to test and validate its design, functionality, and feasibility.
Prototypes are used to visualise and evaluate ideas, gather feedback, identify potential
issues, and make improvements before the full-scale production or implementation.
In various fields, such as product development, software engineering, and even social
entrepreneurship, prototyping plays a crucial role in the iterative design process. It
allows designers, engineers, and stakeholders to experiment with different features,
functionalities, and aspects of a project, leading to a more refined and successful final
product.
