Prototyping and Modelmaking for Product Design, now in its second edition, is a comprehensive guide for both students and design professionals. This book explores the role of prototypes in the design process, illustrating how they help designers understand problems better, explore imaginative solutions, and test functionality.
Through step-by-step tutorials and industry examples, the book examines specific materials, tools, and techniques used in prototyping, as well as digital modelmaking tools such as 3D printing and laser cutting. The author, a practising product development consultant, shares his expertise on how to use digital and manual tools in a complementary and effective fashion.
The book includes case studies representing technological developments and a new expanded section on digital modelmaking tools, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their product design skills.
