原型的建立是产品设计和开发过程的重要组成部分。本文探讨了原型设计中的因素，包括零件数量和设计和制造活动所花费的时间，以及它们与设计结果的相关性。研究提出的问题是：更简单的原型是否意味着更成功的设计？更多的原型是否会带来更好的设计？在一个项目上花费的时间，包括整个项目周期中的所有时间和不同活动的时间，是否与设计成功有关？这项研究的主要发现之一是，零件较少的原型与更好的设计结果相关，在开发过程中添加较少零件的原型也是如此。本文还发现，投入更多的时间在一个项目上并不一定与成功的设计结果相关。
The building of prototypes is an important part of the product design and development process. This paper examines factors in prototyping, including part count and time spent on design and fabrication activity, and their correlations with design outcome. The research questions asked: Do simpler prototypes mean a more successful design? Does more prototyping lead to better designs? Does the amount of time spent on a project, both overall and on different activities over a project cycle, relate to design success? One of the main findings of this study is that prototypes with fewer parts correlate with better design outcome, as do prototypes that have fewer parts added to them over the course of development. This paper also finds that committing more time to a project is not necessarily associated with a successful design outcome.Copyright © 2004 by ASME
