Ideate, Create, Iterate
Iterative Design n. The process of testing and redesigning an idea until it works like it was supposed to in the first place.
- Have an idea for a thing. 💡
- Make the thing. 😄
- Realize the thing isn’t right. 🤨
- Redesign the thing. 🤔
- Repeat 2 through 4 until a desirable outcome is reached, you give up, or you lose your damned mind. 😫
Ideate→Create→Iterate.
By bringing modern ‘rapid prototyping’ capabilities to the desktop, consumer 3D printing has enabled a level of iterative design straight out of Star Trek.
I hope to use this category to write case studies, following the journey from need/idea, through prototyping and the inevitable redesigns, to finished part.
