Aprototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process.[1] It is a term used in a variety of contexts, including semantics, design, electronics, and software programming. A prototype is generally used to evaluate a new design to enhance precision by system analysts and users.[2][3] Prototyping serves to provide specifications for a real, working system rather than a theoretical one.[4] Physical prototyping has a long history, and paper prototyping and virtual prototyping now extensively complement it. In some design workflow models, creating a prototype (a process sometimes called materialization) is the step between the formalization and the evaluation of an idea.[5]

A prototype can also mean a typical example of something such as in the use of the derivation 'prototypical'.[6] This is a useful term in identifying objects, behaviours and concepts which are considered the accepted norm and is analogous with terms such as stereotypes and archetypes.

Engineers and prototype specialists attempt to minimize the impact of these differences on the intended role for the prototype. For example, if a visual prototype is not able to use the same materials as the final product, they will attempt to substitute materials with properties that closely simulate the intended final materials.

Prototypes represent some compromise from the final production design. This is due to the skill and choices of the designer(s), and the inevitable inherent limitations of a prototype. Due to differences in materials, processes and design fidelity, it is possible that a prototype may fail to perform acceptably although the production design may have been sound. Conversely, prototypes may perform acceptably but the production design and outcome may prove unsuccessful.

In general, it can be expected that individual prototype costs will be substantially greater than the final production costs due to inefficiencies in materials and processes. Prototypes are also used to revise the design for the purposes of reducing costs through optimization and refinement.[17]

In technology research, a technology demonstrator is a prototype serving as proof-of-concept and demonstration model for a new technology or future product, proving its viability and illustrating conceivable applications.

In large development projects, a testbed is a platform and prototype development environment for rigorous experimentation and testing of new technologies, components, scientific theories and computational tools.[18]

The most common use of the word prototype is a functional, although experimental, version of a non-military machine (e.g., automobiles, domestic appliances, consumer electronics) whose designers would like to have built by mass production means, as opposed to a mockup, which is an inert representation of a machine's appearance, often made of some non-durable substance.

However, more and more often the first functional prototype is built on a "prototype PCB" almost identical to the production PCB, as PCB manufacturing prices fall and as many components are not available in DIP packages, but only available in SMT packages optimized for placing on a PCB.

In electronics, prototyping means building an actual circuit to a theoretical design to verify that it works, and to provide a physical platform for debugging it if it does not. The prototype is often constructed using techniques such as wire wrapping or using a breadboard, stripboard or perfboard, with the result being a circuit that is electrically identical to the design but not physically identical to the final product.[20]

Open-source tools like Fritzing exist to document electronic prototypes (especially the breadboard-based ones) and move toward physical production. Prototyping platforms such as Arduino also simplify the task of programming and interacting with a microcontroller.[21] The developer can choose to deploy their invention as-is using the prototyping platform, or replace it with only the microcontroller chip and the circuitry that is relevant to their product.

Prototype software is often referred to as alpha grade, meaning it is the first version to run. Often only a few functions are implemented, the primary focus of the alpha is to have a functional base code on to which features may be added. Once alpha grade software has most of the required features integrated into it, it becomes beta software for testing of the entire software and to adjust the program to respond correctly during situations unforeseen during development.[22]

Often the end users may not be able to provide a complete set of application objectives, detailed input, processing, or output requirements in the initial stage. After the user evaluation, another prototype will be built based on feedback from users, and again the cycle returns to customer evaluation. The cycle starts by listening to the user, followed by building or revising a mock-up, and letting the user test the mock-up, then back. There is now a new generation of tools called Application Simulation Software which help quickly simulate application before their development.[23]

A data prototype is a form of functional or working prototype.[27] The justification for its creation is usually a data migration, data integration or application implementation project and the raw materials used as input are an instance of all the relevant data which exists at the start of the project.

To achieve this, a data architect uses a graphical interface to interactively develop and execute transformation and cleansing rules using raw data. The resultant data is then evaluated and the rules refined. Beyond the obvious visual checking of the data on-screen by the data architect, the usual evaluation and validation approaches are to use Data profiling software[28] and then to insert the resultant data into a test version of the target application and trial its use.

When developing software or digital tools that humans interact with, a prototype is an artifact that is used to ask and answer a design question. Prototypes provide the means for examining design problems and evaluating solutions.[29]

In architecture, prototyping refers to either architectural model making (as form of scale modelling) or as part of aesthetic or material experimentation, such as the Forty Wall House open source material prototyping centre in Australia.[34][35]

Architects prototype to test ideas structurally, aesthetically and technically. Whether the prototype works or not is not the primary focus: architectural prototyping is the revelatory process through which the architect gains insight.[36]

In many sciences, from pathology to taxonomy, prototype refers to a disease, species, etc. which sets a good example for the whole category. In biology, prototype is the ancestral or primitive form of a species or other group; an archetype.[37] For example, the Senegal bichir is regarded as the prototypes of its genus, Polypterus.

When designing with Axure, we create a prototype consisting of screenshots and flowcharts to illustrate the look, feel and behavior of the App. These can get very large and is updated often. When new versions is released, we miss a good way of indicating to others (mainly SW) what has been changed between two versions of the prototype. Not just which pages that are updated, but also which parts of a page (screen or flow) that is updated.

What we have tried so far:

Manual creation of change log: Requires much work to maintain and it is hard in text to describe exactly how a flow or screen is changed.

Export to Word and use Word compare: Not good to show which parts of a page that is updated.

is Axure doing any work on coming up with a way to handle this is in the product? I am having to provide multiple versions for Dev and Product as the two are not in sync in terms of planning. For Product I am designing one set that is looking into the future, a subset of that work is being given to Dev and QA for the current sprint. I am not sure if this is solvable, but at least having some sort of change history would help!

2022 was a special year for designer Dietmar Pohl. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary, he was able to travel to the place where both the plot of the movie FIRST BlOOD began and his personal life story: Hope, British Columbia, Canada.

Welcomed by hundreds of loyal First Blood movie fans from around the world, he brought with him the prototype of the MK-9 Legacy with black G-10 handle scales and matching Kydex sheath.

The original design concept for the anniversary knife initially envisaged a Kydex sheath that matched the color of the handle. This was what designer Dietmar Pohl had originally wanted for his MK-9 LAST BLOOD design. At the request of the film star, a leather version was chosen.

For the world premiere of the MK-9 Legacy in Hope B.C., the focus was on the implementation with the material favored by Pohl. The fans were enthusiastic about the combination with the modern and highly professional Kydex sheath. At the same time, the idea of a leather sheath for the Legacy, which was being developed at the same time, was very well received. Following the 40th anniversary of the FIRST BLOOD, the decision was made in favor of the wonderful RADAR leather sheath with the traditional EZE-Lap diamond sharpener.

But many fans, who like Pohl also saw the advantages of Kydex over leather, approached the designer and also wanted the original prototype version with black G-10 and Kydex sheath. At that time, Pohl Force's manufacturing partner Lionsteel had not yet delivered all 300 MK-9 Legacy in the G-10 version. So, designer Dietmar Pohl decided to make the last 100 pieces of the ongoing series the Hope Prototype Edition. The marking of the last serial numbers 201 of 300 to 300 of 300 was given the suffix HP, for HOPE PROTOTYPE.

The long-standing Spanish manufacturing partner, Cuchillera El Abuelo, was persuaded to produce 100 serial numbers of identical Kydex sheaths. Each sheath bears the limitation number corresponding to the knife on the back. A unique process in the knife industry. Following the DNA of Pohl Force, the Kydex sheath of the MK-9 Legacy meets the highest technical and tactical standards. To round off the exceptional overall package of the MK-9 Legacy, three of the eight Hope Event Lobby Cards included in the scope of delivery have been exclusively replaced by new motifs. The knife also comes with a vintage flyer adapted to the MK-9 Legacy Hope Prototype Edition. This gives this model a special collector's value within the overall edition.
