Evolution of Products
What is a product? Why products?
The first product.. ever!
How I built a toaster from scratch Quote Materials Process Product Product
Industrial Revolutions, Mass Production > Mass Customization, Standards
Layers of abstraction
Breaking Products Apart

Low, medium, and high fidelity prototypes
Prototyping methods
By Cutting
Manual/Crafting: by using hand tools such as: scissor, cutter, saw, … etc.
Semi-manual: by using the power tools such as: jig saw, angle grinder, shearing M/C
Digital: by using the CNC M/Cs such as: laser cutter, water jet, CNC router, … etc.
By Forming
Manual: by pliers, dapping blocks, … etc.
Semi-manual: by roller, ring stretcher, … etc.
Digital: by CNC bending m/c, CNC rolling m/c, … etc.
By Subtraction
Manual: carving tools, files, … etc.
Semi-manual: wood lathe, turning m/c, milling m/c, … etc.
By Addition
