Prototyping, FabricationMaker/DIY and educational activities often involve prototyping and fabrication. Prototyping is the process of creating a preliminary model or design of a product or idea in order to test its functionality and make any necessary changes before producing the final version. Fabrication, on the other hand, refers to the process of actually building or manufacturing a product or structure based on a design or plan. Both prototyping and fabrication are important steps in the design and creation of new products, and can be used for a wide range of applications, including educational and DIY projects.
