Module 29: Rapid Prototyping in Industrial Design (Core)
Outcome
Explore the role of rapid prototyping in industrial design.
Indicators
(a) Define rapid prototyping in design.
(b) Explain how sketching is a type of rapid prototyping.
(c) Differentiate between sketching and modelling as an aspect of prototyping.
(d) Identify materials that are used in creating three-dimensional rapid prototypes.
(e) Explore how technologies have impacted the development of rapid prototyping (e.g., computer assisted design, three-dimensional printing).
(f) Investigate the process of prototyping in industrial design, including:
  • defining the purpose of the prototype;
  • establishing the level of approximation required for the prototype;
  • outlining an experimental plan; and,
  • creating a schedule for procurement, construction and testing.
