Wrap Up – Detailed Design
Summary and Key Concepts
Embodiment design is an iterative process that involves balancing constraints and trade-offs. It can feel difficult to know where to start when you have a concept but not sure how to get that refined enough to develop functional prototypes and plan the manufacturing process. One of the most productive approaches is to work from constraints to product architecture to interfaces and finally component or subsystem specification. This is both an iterative process and requires addressing conflicts and analysis to find ideal solutions which satisfy stakeholder needs.
