A Guide to Prototype for your new product

If you are also planning to launch a new product or solution in the market,  it is important to have a proper plan. By having an effective strategy you can launch a new product successfully in the market and challenges can be sorted out. 

To meet this strategy, experts have introduced the Prototyping process for the different development stages. In this blog, let’s know about the product prototype design services with its types and process. 

Furthermore, let’s know about the prototype. 

Glance on Prototype 

The simple way to know the prototype is “ it is a  mechanism to demonstrate functionality.” This process includes visualisation and presentation. It is the best way to come up with creativity and helps developers to get new innovative ideas.  The first process and the first step of designing a model is known as a primary model. With the help of prototype, developers can launch the high performance and tested software in the market. 

Apart from this, the prototype development also clears the design and the end product, how it will be for the clients and investors. At the initial stage, you can know the final product and how it will work. The best way to define a prototype is the theoretical design that can translate into the working model. It adds value to the project and redefines the processings in a better way. 

Different Types of Prototypes 

1) Functional/ Proof of Concept 

It is the foremost step of the prototype development process. This process clears at the very initial stage that your idea will work out and it  focuses on the different aspects such as look,  feel, and material.Undoubtedly, in this step, developers have to put in more effort and focus as it is the foremost step and even the reflection of the final product. It also helps you to find the technical glitches and resolve the issues in the prior. 

2) Visual Prototypes 

Visual prototypes  are considered for the primary purpose of the project. It helps to communicate with the users and developers among them. This type of prototype helps to enhance the design of the end product and focus on the look and feel of the product which includes size,  colour, and texture. It can be showcased in the form of physical as well as digital 3D model, which helps to connect with the users. It is a best practice to know your product in the initial stages only. This  is the prototype of the sketch. 

3) Presentation Prototypes 

This is the next step of the visual prototype. In the development stage, presentation is considered as a next major step of the Visual prototype. The clear word definition is it is upgraded or more than the rough sketch. It is the best way to reflect your idea and strategies in a proper way. The presentation based prototype provides the precise look of the product, it focuses on the look and feel of the product. It also helps to demonstrate the real functionalities. In the presentation prototype the same method has been reflected in the PPT, which are going to contain the similar steps to launch the product in the final product. This is the final product but also not expensive. 

It is a close resemblance of the end product, which helps you make the better decision that you want to take the processings further or not. This process helps to take the decision in the initial stage of the development process and also bring confidence about the product among investors, manufacturers, potential customers. This prototype helps to clear all the ideas at the foremost stages. 

Digital Prototypes 

With the 3D model and CAD tools available in the market, the load of the developers can be decreased. With the tools, the workload can be taken care of in the virtual domain. It reduces the efforts of the dePrototypevelopers. A digital prototype reflects a 3D model, it is a best way to represent the model in an interactive way with the teams. It involves the processes of internal and components. With digitalisation process, 3D representation helps to enhance the model reflection and also enhance the digital inventory and other processings. 

How to make your own Prototype for the market? 

  • Keep it real 
  • Detect Challenges 
  • Identify data as per user behaviour 
  • Research Market 
  • Choose the type of Prototype 

Conclusion 

Prototype is the most demanding and trending service. It offers several ways to the designers to bring your own product design before launching the product in the market. In this blog, we have cleared about the prototype and its different types with essential processes. This will help you to leverage all the benefits of the prototyping process.
