In this article we will cover the iterative nature of the prototyping process and the benefit of more iterations. What is “good enough” and how much iteration do you need? We will discuss trial and error and why you need to embrace failure and finally, how to avoid expensive rabbit holes.
I think we all know that inventors are awesome. Even when their inventions don’t work, they still show an incredible amount of creativity that many people don’t possess. I’m one of those people that can’t think that far out of the box to create something (other than art and fiction, that is). This video is a salute to inventors–and it’s pretty funny as well.

Different prototyping methods are typically defined by the actual purpose they each serve. In part 2 of this series, I will be explaining some of the different methods used in the creation of prototypes. Each prototyping method has its own set of ideal applications, strengths and weaknesses. Some methods are better for speed while others are intended for absolute precision or overall strength. It all comes down to what your particular project requires.
Ever wanted to create your own version of “Clue” or “Monopoly,” but for the digital age? DICE+ wants your best ideas.
If you have an invention idea that you hope to bring to market, eventually it will need to be prototyped. A prototype is a model of the invention idea that allows the inventor to validate and “prove” their concept. Join Trident Design’s Founder, Chris Hawker, for part 1 of a 3-part series focused on turning big ideas into real products.
Since 2010, the James Dyson Award has

and share their unique innovations with the ultimate goal of solving
problems, and they’re gearing up to see what 2013 has to offer the
planet…
