The application of Rapid Prototyping during Conceptual Design is generally called Concept Modelling, without any further reference to what exactly is meant. In this paper the design process will be examined more closely, applying design methodology, and it will be shown that two distinctly different types of activities can be recognized. All (sub)processes start with divergent activities: gathering information and generating design concepts, followed by convergent activities like evaluating and choosing the best concept. It will be shown as well that these two activities are so different in nature that two specific types of Concept Modelling are needed to truly support each. The convergent activities can very well be supported by the current generation of RP systems, using Proof-OfConcept models. To truly support the divergent activities a different types of models is needed, to be called Editable Models. These are models that support the synthesis phase of the design process by giving real-time feedback to the designer. RP systems capable of producing editable models do not yet exist: the paper will only describe the requirements and advantages, also using a real-life application example.
