Modelling.

=Research and testing. =


 * You are well aware of the importance of modelling and testing in the design process. As part of your coursework you have developed both //appearance prototypes// and //functional prototypes//.

You have also used both //ergonomes// and //manikins// to test 2D drawings and 3D forms.

Could you tell someone why you used them? What benefits did yiu derive from their use? Would you use and manikin or an ergonome to test a 3D functional prototype chair? || ||


 * Testing the scaled appearance and functional prototype with a **manikin**. || Testing the ergonomic fit of one shape for our eart chair using an **ergonome**. ||
