MAKE Asks: Prototyping

MAKE Asks: Prototyping


Make: Asks is a weekly column where we ask you, our readers, for responses to maker-related questions. We hope the column sparks interesting conversation and is a way for us to get to know more about each other.

When putting a project together for the first time, I usually do a quick and dirty prototype just to provide proof of concept. Once finished, I’ll rebuild the piece and make it more polished and finished.

This week’s question: What is your prototyping process like? Are you meticulous from the get-go, do you go through many different iterations, or somewhere in between?

Post your responses in the comments section.
