Rapid Prototyping Model Rapid prototyping has long been used in the development of one-off programs, based on the familiar model of the chemical engineer's pilot plant. More recently it has been used to prototype larger systems in two variants-the "throwaway" model and the "operational" model, which is really the incremental model to be discussed later. This development process produces a program that performs some essential or perhaps typical set of functions for the final product. A throwaway prototype approach is often used if the goal is to test the implementation method, language, or end-user acceptability. If this technology is completely viable, the prototype may become the basis of the final product development, but normally it is merely a vehicle to arrive at a completely secure functional specification, as shown in Figure 1.4. From that point on the process is very similar to the waterfall model. The major difference between this and the waterfall model is not just the creation of the operational prototype or functional subset; the essence is that it be done very quickly-hence the term rapid prototyping.3 Prototype model In this model, a prototype (an early approximation of a final system or product) is built, tested, and then reworked as necessary until an acceptable prototype is finally achieved from which the complete system or product can now be developed. Prototype paradigm begins with requirements gathering. Developer and customer meet and define the overall objectives for the software, identify whatever requirements are known, and outline areas where further definition is mandatory. A quick design occurs which leads to the construction of prototype. The prototype is evaluated by the customer/user and used to refine the requirements for the software to be developed. Iteration occurs as the prototype is tuned to satisfy the user requirements, while at the same time enabling developer to better understand what needs to be done.

A prototype is a sample or a model of a product built to test a processor to act as a thing to be replicated. 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. Prototyping serves to provide specifications for a real working system rather than a theoretical one. In some design workflow models, creating a prototype is the step between the formalization and the evaluation of an idea. Recently I have taken services from Iannone 3D, who provides Rapid Prototyping service in the New Jersey area.
A model dosent necessarily need to function where as a prototype needs to function. for example "Inventor" a 3D modeling program made by AutoCAD makes digital models, that don't function. a prototype needs to function so that you can do tests on it.
Creating software using the prototype model also has its benefits. One of the key advantages a
Prototype modeled software has is the time frame of development. Instead of concentrating on documentation, more effort is placed in creating the actual software. This way, the actual software could be released in advance. The work on
prototype models could also be spread to others since there are practically no stages of work in this model. Everyone has to work on the same thing and at the same time, reducing man hours in creating a software. The work will even be faster and efficient if developers will collaborate more regarding the status of a specific function and develop the necessary adjustments in time for the integration.
no it doesnt have to be however this is and if this is emoni baby this is sonny from school hey
* Prototyping includes more customer attention or intraction rather than waterfall model. * Prototypes have a model to study and work, where waterfall do not have any model till last, what ever we developed that comes in last.
In throwaway prototype model we discard the prototype and start from scratch. In evolutionary prototype model we make changes in the prototype and refine it.
In incremental model the real product is designed, implemented, integrated and tested as a series of incremental builds. while In prototype model the prototype (not the real product) is designed, implemented, integrated and tested as a series of incremental builds
They will create a model which is similar to that of the dimensions of the prototype. And also the model which is created should hsve same material properties of that of the prototype. And the model can be tested in the laboratory.
