PDS Breakfast Seminar 2 – Getting the Most out of Prototyping

Seminar Two – Getting the Most out of Prototyping - what makes sense and when?

Prototyping is a critical tool for innovation, allowing technology developers and designers to fail fast, learn quickly, and develop more successful products. By creating simplified versions of a product, developers can test functionality and gather feedback before full-scale development. The goal is not perfection but learning, providing an opportunity to quickly validate assumptions, identify usability issues, and refine key concepts in an iterative way.

Prototyping is an iterative process, involving cycles building, testing and improvement. This session will explore best practice with the aim to get the most out of this process. We will discuss key elements such as timing, costs and materials while identifying those common misconceptions that can lead to problems further down the development journey.

We will be joined by Stuart Kelly, Technical Director, Systolic and Derek Liddle, Owner, Invent Design Build.

About the Product Design Scotland Breakfast Seminar Series

The Product Design Scotland Breakfast Seminar Series has been created to connect and empower Scotland’s innovation ecosystem, bringing together designers, innovators and industry leaders to address key elements in the innovation to commercialisation journey.

Hosted in an informal, breakfast briefing format, each seminar brings together practitioners from across disciplines to explore the ideas, tools, and best practices that are shaping successful commercialisation strategies. Themes covered in this series will include testing and prototyping, market fit and customer adoption, supply chain management, regulatory barriers and innovation risk.

Whether you’re an established designer, a budding entrepreneur, part of an ambitious scaling company, or just beginning your journey in product development, the Breakfast Seminar Series is an opportunity to build relationships, spark new thinking, and stay connected with the dynamic design ecosystem across Scotland.

NOTE: Places within these meetings will be limited and priority will be given to Technology Scotland members. If you are interested in becoming a member of Technology Scotland, please get in touch with [email protected].
