Move from analysis and design to practical builds. Evaluate manufacturability and whether the design addresses the need. Capture calculations, CAD, rough mockups, failures and pivots.

Team actions

  • Build models, calculations or drawings
  • Review manufacturability, safety and resources
  • Create a first prototype and photograph progress

Evidence to produce

Design package + working or testable prototype
