Prototype
This section should document the early prototypes that the team has created to represent solutions. This process is iterative and may include several rounds of prototyping. Include any artifacts (pictures, videos, etc.) for reference. Consider:
-
What was the purpose of the prototype (feasibility, size/aesthetic demonstration, conveying concept, etc.)?
-
Was the concept intended for internal team use or for external partners?
-
What simplifications were made (material, geometry, etc)?
-
How was the prototype fabricated? (sketch, wood, 3D prints, CAD, etc.)
Bill of material (B.O.M)
This section should include a list of all of the components, whether manufactured or purchased, that go into the final design.
Prints/ Schematics/ Code
This section should provide links to any relevant material that describe the technical details of each component and the overall assembly or technology stack, whether the project is physical, virtual, or both. These materials should be of quality and completeness such that a 3rd party of reasonable skill could fabricate the project without additional instruction.
