A Designer’s Guide to Prototyping

We've put this guide together for design engineers to better understand how prototyping affects the outcome of a design; the issues involved, the importance of selecting the right prototyping method and some of the pitfalls that can lead to what we call CLE's (Career Limiting Errors) and how to avoid them. For seasoned designers we hope that this guide will serve as a simple reminder of things forgotten and things that might be related to changes in prototyping technology. In either case we hope you will find it useful and we welcome any suggestions to make this guide to continue to be relevant in a constantly evolving technical environment.
